| Fluor to provide services for environmental retrofit program Fluor Corp announced that it was awarded a multi-year special projects supplement to their existing contract to provide construction and other support services for Luminant's environmental retrofit program. Luminant is a subsidiary of Energy Future Holdings Corp. The undisclosed contract value was booked in the company's third quarter. Fluor will supply management, supervision and craft personnel to support construction services and environmental retrofits to Luminant's current coal-fired power plant units. Fluor began providing ongoing maintenance and modification services at four of Luminant's power units in 1984 and has since grown the relationship to cover all of the company's fossil power generating units and equipment repair center. During this time, Fluor has successfully executed multiple major capital projects including the recently completed Oak Grove Units 1 & 2 clean coal project and the balance-of-plant construction for Luminant's Sandow 5 Selective Catalytic Reduction project. Luminant is a competitive power generation business including mining, wholesale marketing and trading, and development operations. With a total of 15,400 megawatts of generation in Texas, 2,300 megawatts are fueled by nuclear power and 8,000 megawatts fueled by coal. The company is also the largest purchaser of wind-generated electricity in Texas and fifth largest in the United States. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
