Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR) announced today the opening of its Alaska
office in Anchorage to support projects in the region. An initial staff
of 50 employees, backed by Fluor’s global
workforce, will perform engineering, procurement, construction and
maintenance services for the oil and gas, mining, and government sectors.
The office will be located at 3800 Centerpoint Drive, Suite 200 in
midtown Anchorage.
The company will host a grand opening at the new office location in
Anchorage on August 27, 2008, from 4 to 7 p.m.
Many of Fluor's key clients in the oil and gas industry have expressed
an interest in Fluor returning to Anchorage to support their increasing
needs in the region. The Alaska office will offer operations that not
only will support many of Fluor’s clients in
Alaska, but also will serve strategic global interests at other arctic
and sub-arctic project sites.
“Fluor has a long history of executing some of
the most complex projects in the most challenging regions of the world,”
said David Seaton, Fluor’s group president of
Energy and Chemicals. “We will continue to
serve the needs of our clients in the region, expand our resource base
and work with the local community in Anchorage and throughout Alaska.”
Fluor will leverage its extensive experience in Alaska to support the
growing engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance needs on
the North Slope and throughout the state.
The most well-known project executed by Fluor in Alaska was the
engineering, procurement and construction of the pump stations, remote
gate valve sites and marine terminal of the Trans Alaska Pipeline
System, one of the largest pipeline systems in the world, which delivers
oil 800 miles from Alaska’s North Slope to the
Port of Valdez.
