Foster Wheeler Awarded Springerville Boiler Erection Contract

Foster Wheeler Ltd's subsidiary within its Global Power Group has been awarded a contract for construction management services and reimbursable craft labour to erect a 400 megawatt (MWe) pulverized-coal (PC) steam generator at the Springerville Generating Station in Arizona by Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP). Foster Wheeler was previously awarded a contract in 2006 to supply the PC boiler to SRP for this project. The contract is valued at approximately $75 million.

Foster Wheeler will erect the PC boiler components, associated piping, auxiliary equipment and selective catalytic reduction systems. Erection of the boiler is expected to begin in April 2007, with commercial operation scheduled for late 2009.

"This award represents a win for Foster Wheeler and reflects SRP's confidence in Foster Wheeler not only as a supplier of state-of-the-art boilers, but also as an experienced boiler constructor," said Gary Nedelka, president and chief executive officer of Foster Wheeler North America Corp. "This is another example of Foster Wheeler's commitment to supply complete, cost-effective solutions to support our clients in the power industry."

"We saw a lot of value in having Foster Wheeler supply and erect our new boiler for unit #4 and are convinced that Foster Wheeler is the right company to have on our team," said Bill Rihs, manager, Major Projects, SRP.
