BiFab contract hopes dwindle as Belgian firm hotly tipped to win Moray East fabrication deal
ByDavid McPhee
Burntisland Fabrication’s (BiFab) hopes of winning a substantial portion of a huge north-east fabrication contract was hanging in the balance last night as it emerged a Belgian firm is tipped to take the lion share of the deal.
Steel construction company Smulders is understood to be leading the race for the Moray East Offshore Windfarm fabrication contract.
BiFab was already dealt a blow in December as United Arab Emirates-based firm Lamprell was handed the first £160 million fabrication agreement for the project.
