Fluor provided engineering, procurement and construction management
services for the coatings plant

IRVING, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that BASF’s Coatings
division has opened a new automotive coatings plant at the Shanghai
Chemical Industry Park in Caojing, Shanghai, China. An opening ceremony
was held recently to commemorate the milestone.

“Working closely with BASF, the team optimized the schedule to support
parallel construction activities and deliver this project safely and on
schedule,” said Ken
Choudhary, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in the
Asia-Pacific region. “We greatly value our strategic partnership with
BASF and this project is yet another example of excellence in execution
through close collaboration and teamwork.”

After completing the front-end engineering and design, Fluor provided
engineering, procurement and construction management services for the
project. Fluor was responsible for building production lines, a solvent
recovery unit, tank farms, utilities, warehouse, administration building
and site infrastructure, with more than 1,200 craft workers onsite at
peak.

An expansion of an existing facility, the project was constructed
adjacent to several operating units, requiring close collaboration with
the plant operations to ensure safety. Leveraging Fluor’s safety
programs, including its Life CriticalSM activity
requirements, the project achieved 3.5 million work hours without a
lost-time incident.

The facility produces innovative and eco-efficient automotive coatings
that support the growing automotive industry in China and better serve
local car manufacturers.

engineering partner for BASF, Fluor has delivered many of BASF’s
recent expansion projects, including an isononanol
plant in China and a citral
facility in Malaysia.
