Fluor said that it has completed the front-end engineering and design in 2007 for all process and utilities and offsites for the refinery coker expansion project, prior to this transition into detailed execution.
The project is located in Roxana, Illinois, approximately 25 miles northeast of St Louis, Missouri, according to Fluor. Earlier in 2008, Fluor was awarded detailed engineering and procurement for selected portions of the project.
Fluor’s total scope of work for this project includes detailed engineering, procurement and construction services for the refinery’s utilities and offsites as well as for retrofitting portions of the existing refinery to accommodate the new Canadian feedstock. Fluor will also provide owner management team support to WRB Refining throughout the project’s duration.
Fluor began front-end loading engineering services in May 2006 with completion in late 2007. The company expects that about 500 professionals will work from Fluor’s Calgary, Houston and New Delhi, India, office locations.
