The MCL Group

The MCL Group of Companies was founded in 1979 with the launch of Midland Cryogenics Limited, specialising in cryogenic applications to service requirements within the UK. Our reputation of quality and service grew rapidly, with many prestigious domestic companies joining our customer listing.

In the early 1980's MCL were asked to advise on major problems being experienced on North Sea platforms. As a result, MCL designed a nitrogen transfer system and were awarded the contract - which was both a success and completed on time.

MCL has expanded its geographical scope of operations for process and pipeline services carrying out leak detection projects on oil tankers in the Mediterranean, pipe freezing projects in Australia and live gas tank refurbishment contracts in Africa.

Domestically, Midland Cryogenics Ltd still operates its nationwide cryogenic work developing techniques for water authorities, for the speed and cost effective exchange of hydrants in all areas of the UK.

We remain a highly specialised organisation committed to quality, service and safety which has a wide spread of often complimentary services to the oil, water and gas industries.

Technicians

The application of liquid nitrogen as a pipe-freezing agent requires considerable skill and experience, attributes possessed by all MCL pipe-freezing technicians.

Each team of pipe freezing technicians carries with them a comprehensive range of specialist equipment to accommodate the diverse range of applications they encounter, for pipes up to 48 inches in diameter.

Our technicians are fully conversant with the safety requirements that must be observed when handling liquid nitrogen, and work to the most stringent standards, thereby maintaining safety in the workplace.

During 1981 we received a request from Mobil North Sea Limited for valve replacement on their Beryl Alpha platform and were the first to introduce Pipe Freezing in the North Sea.

In the subsequent years the requirement for pipe freezing grew in the North Sea and Midland Cryogenics Limited formed a sub division M.C.L. (Offshore) Limited. This company undertook many offshore freezes including sea bed freezes down the base of such platforms as:-

Start A (Norway) Contract value £350,000
Beryl A (U.K. Mobil) Contract Value £20,000
