Fluor Wins $117 Million in Contracts

Fluor Corp. said Monday that it has received three new contracts valued at more than $117 million.

Fluor Daniel Inc., the largest subsidiary of Irvine-based Fluor Corp., has obtained a $100-million contract from DuPont Canada to help design and build a hydrogen peroxide manufacturing plant in Alberta. The plant is scheduled to be completed by mid-1991.

Fluor Daniel won a second Canadian contract from Procter & Gamble Inc. for capital improvement projects and renovation work at the company’s facility in Brockville, Ont. Fluor did not disclose the value of the contract.

Gerald Glenn, group president of marketing and sales for Fluor Daniel, said both new international contracts have stemmed from long-term business alliances that Fluor has established with Procter & Gamble and DuPont in the United States.

Glenn said Fluor expects to do more international business as new trade alignments in Canada and Europe provide incentives for American companies to establish manufacturing plants abroad.

A third contract, valued at $17 million, involves management of the construction of a rocket engine component test facility, Glenn said. Completion of the contract work at Stennis Space Center north of New Orleans is projected for 1992.
