Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that it has signed an
agreement with JGC America, Inc. (JGC) to provide construction-related
support to the front-end engineering and design (FEED) services for the
Woodfibre Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project in the District of
Squamish near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Fluor booked the
undisclosed contract value in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Under the subcontract, Fluor will provide construction planning and
design services to support the FEED package and engineering, procurement
and construction proposal development. JGC is a FEED contractor for the
proposed 2.1 million-tonnes-per-year natural gas Woodfibre liquefaction
plant and export facility.
“With our industry-leading modular design and construction approach,
Fluor will work closely with JGC to develop a project execution strategy
that delivers capital efficiency and schedule certainty to Woodfibre
LNG,” said Pierre Bechelany, senior vice president of pipelines and LNG
for Fluor. “Leveraging JGC’s extensive LNG experience and Fluor’s
project execution and construction expertise, we look forward to helping
Woodfibre LNG advance this project for the community and British
Columbia.”
The proposed facility will be powered with electricity from BC Hydro,
which generates more than 90 percent clean renewable energy and will
help create one of the cleanest LNG facilities in the world.
