Fluor awarded contract for Vopak fuel storage terminal
IRVING, Texas and WOODMEAD, South Africa — Fluor Corporation announced that it was awarded an engineering, procurement and construction management contract by Vopak Terminal Durban (Pty) Ltd. to deliver the Vopak Growth 4 Project in Durban, South Africa. Fluor booked the undisclosed contract value in the 4Q 2017.
“This is one of Vopak’s largest storage facility projects in South Africa and the largest storage project undertaken by Fluor in Africa,” said Al Collins, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The expansion project is part of Vopak’s program to facilitate the increased demand for fuel with cleaner specifications in Southern Africa by increasing the capacity of fuel storage at its Durban terminal.
To add value to the project, Fluor will use its global networks to competitively source material and equipment that cannot be sourced locally. Local contractors and vendors will also be used to further develop and sustain the local labor market, enterprises and economy.
Fluor previously completed Vopak’s Fuel 2 project at the same location.
