KBR awarded construction contract for Chemours new Corpus Christi facility
KBR, Inc. has been awarded a construction contract by The Chemours Company for the construction of its new facility in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide complete construction services for this critically important investment in new generation environmentally friendly refrigerants at the Chemours plant site in Corpus Christi, Texas.
This work is expected to be completed over 18 months, with KBR executing all construction scope, providing construction management and direct hire craft labor. This new scope is in concert with the already completed early conceptual engineering and estimating for the project and the detailed design and procurement services currently being provided by KBR's Wilmington and Monterrey offices under a long-standing Master Services Agreement.
The addition to the Corpus Christi facility is an investment in large-scale manufacturing to expand the supply of Chemours' portfolio of refrigerants. The new plant will use a patented process to manufacture hydrofluoroolefins(HFOs) used in automotive air conditioning and in refrigerant blends for a range of applications. The investment will create the world's largest facility for manufacturing HFOs, and the location will allow Chemours to efficiently serve the growing market in North America and Europe, as well as the rest of the world.
