Fluor Corporation has recently bagged a $2.2 billion contract to provide engineering and procurement services and construction management for the utilities and offsite (U&O) facilities of Saudi Kayan’s petrochemical complex in Al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia.

Engineering on the U&O facilities began last July and will continue through 2008. Construction is slated to begin next month with a targeted completion of December 2009. Peak engineering employment is anticipated at 1,000 employees with peak construction employment of 12,000.
Fluor offices in Camberley, UK; Houston, Texas; Manila, Philippines; and Saudi Arabia will be involved in the project.
Fluor was selected in June 2005 to provide front-end engineering and design and project management consultancy services for the complex. The project is a joint venture between Saudi Basic Industries Corporation and Al-Kayan.
