US-based engineering services firm Fluor has completed Olefins II Project for a joint venture of Dow Chemical Company, Kuwait-based Petrochemical Industries Company, Bubyan Petrochemical and Qurain Petrochemical Industries in Shuaiba, Kuwait, approximately 25 miles south of Kuwait City.
Fluor began work on the project in July 2004 by providing overall management consultancy and front-end engineering and design (FEED) work for utilities and infrastructure. The Olefins II Project was completed in June 2009 with a safety record that achieved 42 million safe hours without a lost-time incident.
In addition to the overall management consultancy and FEED work for utilities and infrastructure, Fluor was also awarded the FEED and engineering, procurement and construction management for the sea water cooling towers, polyethylene expansion, expansion of existing utilities and infrastructure, and new utilities and infrastructure shared with aromatics.
Peter Oosterveer, Fluor's president of energy and chemicals, said: "The completion of this project is a significant milestone for our client and for Fluor, as this was a model of true teamwork throughout. The sheer size and scope along with the outstanding safety record makes this a true hallmark project."
