| Fluor wins contract for Wood River coker refinery expansion Fluor Corp, the largest publicly traded U.S. engineering and construction company, announced that it was awarded a contract for the construction and construction management of process, utility and offsites in connection with a coker refinery expansion project by WRB Refining LLC, a joint venture between ConocoPhillips and EnCana. Fluor will book the undisclosed contract amount in the company's fourth quarter 2008. Fluor completed the front-end engineering and design in 2007 for all process and utilities and offsites for the entire refinery coker expansion project prior to this transition into detailed execution. The project is located in Roxana, Illinois, approximately 25 miles northeast of St. Louis, Mo. Earlier this year, Fluor was awarded detailed engineering and procurement for selected portions of the project that was booked through the second quarter of 2008. Fluor began front-end loading engineering services in May 2006 with completion in late 2007. It is expected that about 500 professionals will work from Fluor's Calgary, Houston and New Delhi, India, office locations. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
