INTERNATIONAL engineering services company Amec has completed a £35m oil deck for BP.
The Clair deck, weighing 11,000 tonnes, left Amec's Wallsend yard, on Tyneside, on Monday night, bound for its new home, 75km west of Shetland.
Amec will now carry out the second part of its contract with BP to install the deck.
The £10m-worth of work includes attaching the drilling support module, living quarters, flare stack, waste heat recovery unit and stair towers.
Lifting and transport company Mammoet, which worked on the project, is claiming a world record for Clair as the heaviest object to have been moved on wheels on land. The Clair field is expected to begin producing oil later this year.
