Fluor Win Refinery Upgrades at Sasol's Secunda Facility

Fluor has been selected by Sasol to perform project management, engineering, procurement and construction services for the off-sites and utilities portion of refinery upgrades at Sasol's Secunda facility, South Africa.

Project Turbo, Sasol's major clean fuels initiative, is aimed at meeting stricter South African clean fuels standards, due to take effect in January 2006. It includes a number of facility upgrades as well as new plants to expand production of marketable polymers. The second-quarter award, valued at $176m to Fluor, is the latest in a series of awards made by Sasol to Fluor relating to Project Turbo.

Fluor was selected in 2003 to be Project Turbo's managing contractor for the basic design and engineering, procurement and construction management phases, including the procurement of bulk materials. In addition to that role, Fluor is currently performing engineering, procurement and construction management services for off-sites and utilities at Sasol's Midlands facility near Sasolburg.
