New deal secures work for energy firm
 Energy specialist McNulty Offshore has helped to secure 150 jobs in a £2.3 million deal with a neighbouring firm in the UK Northeast.
According to the Northern Echo newspaper, energy fabrication and repair group McNulty on Tyneside has awarded a contract to Mech-Tool Engineering in Darlington for delivery of pre-assembled buildings, fire and blast walls and weather protection shutters for an offshore electricity subs-station.
The equipment will serve Centrica Energy's Lincs offshore wind farm, which is being developed 8 km (5 miles) offshore from the Lincolnshire coastline at the holiday town of Skegness.
Lincs is to provide 250 Megawatts of generating capacity from up to 85 offshore wind turbines and the order is reported to have safeguarded jobs at Mech-Tool which was otherwise looking at reducing its workforce.
“McNulty Offshore Construction Ltd deserve recognition for their efforts to ensure work in this emerging sector remains in the North- East of England, which is rapidly becoming a recognised supply chain and centre of excellence for renewable energy engineering, and we are very proud to be part of it,” David Walker, business manager for Mech-Tool’s modular division told the newspaper.
Mech-Tool recently supplied fire and blast walls for a new living quarters platform for BP Norge's Valhall field redevelopment offshore Norway.Advertisement
