Fluor Enables Solar Plant to Reach First Production in 20 Months
Irving-based Fluor Corp. helped LDK Solar’s polysilicon plant in Xinyu City, China, toward its first successful production run. As the engineering, procurement and construction management contractor, Fluor helped bring the facility from groundbreaking to first production in 20 months. LDK Solar initiated production ramp-up of operations for its first 5,000 metric-ton train of its eventual 15,000 MT (annualized capacity) polysilicon plant in Xinyu earlier this month.
Additionally, RasGas Co. Ltd. recently recognized Fluor for its successful completion of the RL3 Common Offplot Projects in Ras Laffan City, Qatar. Fluor began the $1.5 billion engineering, procurement and construction management project in November 2005. Fluor’s engineering, procurement and construction management scope for the common offplot facilities included power distribution, pipelines, storage tanks utilities and related equipment supporting numerous new LNG, gas-to-liquids and gas sales projects.
