| Fluor awarded contract from Total Fluor Corporation was awarded a contract for engineering, procurement and construction for Total's Port Arthur, Texas, refinery. Fluor's scope of work includes building a coker, a desulfurization unit, a vacuum distillation unit and other related infrastructure. The full contract value of $1.9 billion will be booked in the first quarter of 2008. The new contract follows the completion of the front-end engineering and design (FEED) work that Fluor has performed for Total at the Port Arthur refinery. Fluor will perform a portion of the work as self-perform construction and will also maintain the role of overall construction management. With the project underway, it is expected that up to 2,200 craft workers will be employed on the project with the completion of the coker scheduled to be in 2011. Fluor offices in Aliso Viejo, California, Houston and New Delhi, India, are expected to be the primary execution centers for the project. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
