Fluor Awarded Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management Services Contract for SABIC’s PPE Plant Recommissioning Project in the Netherlands

IRVING, Texas & BERGEN OP ZOOM, Netherlands–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Netherlands?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#Netherlandslt;/agt;–Fluor
Corporation
(NYSE: FLR) announced today that it was awarded an
engineering, procurement and construction management services contract
by SABIC for the recommissioning of its polyphenylene ether (PPE) resin
plant in Bergen op Zoom, the Netherlands. Fluor will book the
undisclosed contract value in the first quarter of 2019.


“We are pleased to support SABIC with this important recommissioning
project at the Bergen op Zoom site where Fluor has more than 30 years of
experience of providing innovative solutions to the client,” said Simon
Nottingham
, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in
Europe, Africa and the Middle East. “Fluor’s proven track record in
brownfield projects and construction-driven execution will minimize
disruption at this complex operations site and provide cost and schedule
certainty.”

SABIC announced the project last year, in response to high global
customer demand for its unique NORYLTM resins, based on PPE
resin technology. NORYL resins are SABIC’s proprietary family of
modified compounds. Recommissioning the Bergen op Zoom PPE resin
facility will provide customers with a second source of NORYL resins
globally, and affirms SABIC’s commitment to the European market and
global customers who specify their NORYL resin material needs from
Europe. When operational, the Bergen op Zoom facility is expected to add
more than 40% global capacity over a 2017 baseline.

The 14-month project began in January 2019 led by Fluor’s Bergen op Zoom
office and will be supported by Fluor’s Cebu office in the Philippines.
