About Construction

Fluor's approach to Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) issues on our construction projects extends beyond mere compliance. Led by executive management, our commitment to implement and execute sound HSE practices is reflected in everything we do. For example, Fluor is proud to be the first major contractor to institute an industry-leading ZERO Incidents^SM standard.

Fluor's safety performance is exceptional, especially considering the complexity of our projects and the demanding conditions in which they are executed. Our outstanding safety performance not only protects lives, but also benefits our clients in terms of increased productivity and reduced project costs.

Our global network of construction resources facilitates effective mobilization of equipment and construction teams around the globe. We have extensive experience with country regulations, requirements and building codes and we understand the intricacies of managing a workforce that includes ethnic, religious and political diversity.

To optimize use of local resources, improve project quality, and promote sustainable community relationships, Fluor implements a wide-reaching program for training craft and construction personnel. During the past 25 years, we have trained over 200,000 craft personnel across nearly all construction trades from Indonesia to South Africa to the US Gulf Coast. Our training programs help improve worker qualifications, reduce turnover and absenteeism, and increase productivity. We initiate craft training programs wherever we provide self-perform construction services.

Fluor's Construction Technology group develops and implements leading-edge technologies, systems and work methods for clients who desire excellence in construction execution. Whether we use the latest smart chip methods to monitor construction quality and track materials or employ advanced welding processes to improve productivity, Fluor continues to set the standard for application of advanced construction technologies.

Fluor's construction systems integrate seamlessly with our engineering and procurement software suites to deliver construction-driven planning and execution support. Our proprietary and commercial project automation tools strengthen team productivity and enhance project planning through exploration of construction execution alternatives.

Our Construction Technology group maintains active participation in many industry research associations, including the Construction Industry Institute (CII), Construction Users Roundtable (CURT) and Fully Integrated and Automated TECHnology (FIATECH). These associations allow for the best ideas in construction to be shared with our clients, peers and supply base.

By utilizing Fluor's Construction Technology resources, our clients benefit from knowing their plant assets are constructed, tested and certified to their requirements. Additionally, our project controls processes surpass those processes required for ISO-9002 certification.

Fluor has both construction management and self-perform capabilities, and maintains one of the most flexible labor postures in the industry. We employ professional personnel, flexible procedures and advanced systems to select only the optimum available resources for a specific project. After selection, we continuously manage and measure compliance with key selection criteria including safety, quality, total project cost and timely completion. Only superior performers are considered for further work.

We maintain strategic relationship agreements with suppliers and contractors who are experts in their focus areas and have a proven history with Fluor of providing excellence in execution and commercial performance.
