The contract – awarded to the Darlington based company by fabrication specialists Burntisland Fabrications (BiFab) – involved supplying fire and blast relief walls and specialist fire louvres for BP’s new refrigeration plant at its Kinneil RLPG Plant in Grangemouth.
The onshore terminal processes crude oil from the North Sea and is an integral part of the BP Forties Pipeline System.
“We are delighted to have been awarded this contract by BiFab,” said Anthony Jones, Business Development Director at Mech-Tool Engineering. “Our hazard protection solutions play an integral role in protecting personnel and assets. With demands for exceptional safety standards, Mech-Tool Engineering prides itself on designing and manufacturing fire and blast solutions that meet – and in many cases – exceed the industry’s highest standards and as such, this is one of the major factors as to why we are securing contracts on such high profile oil and gas projects.”
The company will provide highly specialized fire louvres, which will allow blasts to transfer through the wall systems as well as deflect these up, over and away from hazards.
