At Eastman Chemical’s operations in Kingsport, Tennessee, Fluor provides
construction and maintenance support and tool repair services.
AMECO supplies construction equipment and tools for Nexen at the
Long Lake Project near Fort McMurray, Canada.
a viable long-term opportunity. As an example, we
continue to expand our plant and site engineering
capabilities and improve responsiveness by selectively
opening regional offices near our clients’ operations.
Thanks to our integrated approach to providing client
services, we now generally deliver two or three of our
key services at each location rather than just one.
MODERATING CYCLICALITY
While other Fluor groups focus on large, complex
projects in their respective markets, Global Services
serves a large number of clients across very diverse
markets. In fact, in 2007 alone, Global Services
operated on over 300 sites around the world. Our
projects are typically booked and initiated in the same
year and extend for many more years, which helps to
moderate the cyclical nature of other Fluor businesses.
Global Services works collaboratively
with our clients and suppliers to deliver
operations and maintenance, construction
equipment, staff augmentation and
procurement services across a diverse set
of industries. We also provide supplemental
services that give other Fluor business
groups a competitive edge and add to Fluor’s
overall service offering.
A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY
Looking ahead, our opportunities for growth remain as
promising as ever. More and more, we are expanding
our reach and strengthening existing relationships.
Once we’re in a particular region, we look for other
prospects in the area that could benefit from our
service offerings. By doing what we do best, we make
it possible for clients to secure essential resources,
streamline operations, enhance productivity — and
focus on doing what they do best.
