of our segments which can lead to long-term maintenance or operations opportunities. Conversely, our
long-term maintenance contracts can lead to larger capital projects for our other business segments when
that need arises.
Government
Our Government segment is a provider of engineering, construction, logistics, base and facilities
operations and maintenance, contingency response and environmental and nuclear services to the U.S.
government and governments abroad. Because the U.S. and other governments are the largest purchasers
of outsourced services in the world, government work represents an attractive opportunity for the
company.
For the energy sector, we provide site management, environmental remediation, decommissioning,
engineering and construction services and have been very successful in addressing the myriad
environmental and regulatory challenges associated with these sites. Fluor performs significant activities as
part of a joint venture that has responsibility for the Savannah River site near Aiken, South Carolina.
Fluor-led teams are also responsible for certain decommissioning activities for the U.S. Department of
Energy (‘‘DOE’’), including the Gaseous Diffusion Plants in Pike County, Ohio (Portsmouth) and
Paducah, Kentucky. Additionally, a Fluor-led team is providing operations and maintenance services with
the Department of Energy at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in New Orleans, Louisiana. We are also
serving government customers outside of the United States. For example, Fluor is part of a joint venture
that is providing nuclear decommissioning services at 12 sites under the Magnox/Research Site Restoration
Limited contract for the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in the United Kingdom.
The Government segment also provides engineering and construction services, logistics and
life-support, as well as contingency operations support, to the defense sector. We support military logistical
and infrastructure needs around the world. Specifically, we provide life-support, engineering, procurement,
construction and logistical augmentation services to the U.S. military and coalition forces in various
international locations, with a primary focus on the United States military-related activities in and around
the Middle East and more specifically in Afghanistan and Africa. Because of our strong network of global
resources, we believe we are well-situated to efficiently and effectively mobilize the resources necessary for
defense operations, even in the most remote and difficult locations to both traditional and U.S.
government classified customers around the world.
In combination with our subsidiary, Fluor Federal Solutions, we are a leading provider of outsourced
services to the U.S. government. We provide operations and maintenance services at military bases and
education and training services to the Department of Labor, particularly through Job Corps programs.
The company is also providing support to the Department of Homeland Security. We are particularly
involved in supporting the U.S. government’s rapid response capabilities to address security issues and
disaster relief, the latter primarily through our long-standing relationship with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
Global Services
The Global Services segment represents a combination of other operating segments that provide a
wide array of solutions to support projects across Fluor groups all over the world. Capabilities within
Global Services include site equipment and tool services, industrial fleet services, temporary staffing
services, fabrication, construction and modularization services and supply chain solutions.
Global Services provides Site Services↧ and fleet management services through AMECO↧. AMECO
provides integrated construction equipment, tool, and fleet service solutions to the company and third
party clients on a global basis for construction projects and plant sites. AMECO supports large
construction projects and plants at locations throughout North and South America, Africa, the Middle
East, Australia and Southeast Asia.
