Fluor is providing engineering, procurement and
construction services for the Hexcel carbon fi ber
production line in Decatur, Alabama. (left)
Full EPCM services were used to design and
construct the latest addition to Oxiana Pty Ltd’s
mining assets in Australia. The new facilities
will process 8 million tons per annum of
copper ore. (right)
multi-billion dollar Ivanhoe Oyu Tolgoi project
in Mongolia — the world’s largest copper-gold
development project. We also booked an $800
million contract for EPCM and commissioning
services for a BHP Billiton iron ore expansion
project in Western Australia. This project is
expected to increase current mine capacity by
26 million tons per annum.
Canadian oil sands development spurred new
opportunities, prompting Fluor’s reentry into this
growing market with contracts for key mining facilities
in and around the Athabasca oil sands deposit. We
also strengthened our relationship with Barrick Gold,
one of the world’s largest gold and copper mining
companies, as we won a challenging gold, silver and
copper mine development project in Chile and moved
forward with a feasibility study for open-pit mining
operations in the Dominican Republic.
MANUFACTURING AND LIFE SCIENCES
Our manufacturing and life sciences business serves
a broad range of industries, including biotechnology,
pharmaceuticals, heavy manufacturing,
semiconductors and consumer products such as
snack foods and beverages. In 2007, we moved
forward with front-end services, permitting and
program management for a multi-billion dollar solar
panel plant in Asia. We also completed multiple
snack food manufacturing projects throughout the
United States totaling over $200 million in revenue,
and we expanded our biologics work with Amgen
in Puerto Rico and California. In addition, we are
nearing completion of detailed engineering for a
large-scale cell culture facility in the northeastern
United States for Bristol-Myers Squibb and
completing feasibility studies for the fi rst biologics
facility in Puerto Rico.
MILESTONES AND ACCOLADES
In keeping with Fluor’s commitment to the health
and safety of our employees, we are pleased to report
that in 2007 our manufacturing and life sciences
business unit reached 1 million safe work hours
on projects for GlaxoSmithKline in both the United
States and Puerto Rico. In addition to this important
safety milestone, our infrastructure group was twice
honored for its TH 212 project for the Minnesota
Department of Transportation. Not only was it ranked
number one in the nation by Roads & Bridges
magazine on its Top 10 Roads list, but the project
also received the prestigious Minnesota Safety and
Health Achievement Recognition Program award.
