Fluor 2011 Annual Report Download - page 49

Because the U.S. government is the single largest purchaser of outsourced services in the world, with a
relatively stable year-to-year budget, it represents an attractive opportunity for the company.
For the Department of Energy, we provide site management, environmental remediation,
decommissioning, engineering and construction services and have been very successful in addressing the
myriad of 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. There, our team is engaged in managing and operating this important site which encompasses
over 300 square miles with total on site personnel of approximately 5,500 people. A Fluor-led team also
has responsibility for the Department of Energy’s Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Pike County,
Ohio. We are leveraging our skills and experience to pursue additional domestic and international
opportunities in the nuclear services and environmental remediation arenas.
The Government segment also provides engineering and construction services, as well as logistics and
contingency operations support, to the Department of Defense. We support military logistical and
infrastructure needs around the world. Our largest long-term contract is LOGCAP IV, under which we
provide engineering, procurement, construction and logistical augmentation services to the U.S. military in
various international locations, with a primary focus on the United States military-related activities in and
around the Middle East and more specifically Afghanistan. In combination with our subsidiary,
Del-Jen, Inc., we are a leading provider of outsourced services to the federal 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. Because of our strong network of global
resources, we believe we are well-situated to efficiently and effectively mobilize the resources necessary for
Department of Defense operations, even in the most remote and difficult locations.
The company is also providing significant 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 integrates a variety of customized service capabilities that serve and
assist industrial clients in improving the performance of their plants and facilities. Capabilities within
Global Services include operations and maintenance activities, small capital project engineering and
execution, site equipment and tool services, industrial fleet services, plant turnaround services, supply
chain solutions and temporary staffing.
Continuing operations and sustaining small capital project services are frequently executed under
multi-year alliance style agreements directly between Global Services and its clients. Clients demand these
services to help achieve substantial operations improvements while they remain focused on their core
business functions. Support services for large capital projects are provided to clients in concert with other
Fluor segments or on a standalone basis. This segment often benefits from large projects that originate in
another of our segments which can lead to long-term maintenance or operations opportunities.
Alternatively, long-term maintenance contracts for Global Services can lead to larger capital projects for
one of our other segments when that need arises.
Global Services’ activities in the operations and maintenance markets include providing facility
start-up and management, plant and facility maintenance, operations support and asset management
services to the oil and gas, chemicals, life sciences, mining and metals, consumer products and
manufacturing industries. We are a leading supplier of operations and maintenance services, providing our
service offerings both domestically and internationally.
We also provide Site ServicesSM and Fleet OutsourcingSM through American Equipment
Company, Inc., or AMECO↧. AMECO provides integrated construction equipment, tool, and fleet service
solutions on a global basis for construction projects and plant sites of both third party clients and clients of
