Fluor's project execution expertise includes continuous processes, batch operations, grassroots units, plant revamps, plant expansions, and technical services. We maintain strong relationships with technology vendors and licensors worldwide. This approach allows our experts to provide objective analyses and assistance in implementing the best practices and technologies to meet the project's goals.

Design

Fluor's conceptual design services align each project's function, scope, cost, and schedule with the client's objectives in order to optimize project success. The conceptual design phase offers the best opportunity to assess business, commercial, and technical risk and improve return on investment.

During conceptual design, Fluor establishes the early project definition of the engineering, procurement, and construction requirements and a detailed project estimate. Our services include feasibility studies, project development planning, technology evaluation and recommendations, risk management assessment, global siting, financing planning, constructability reviews, asset optimization over the facility's life cycle, and front-end engineering. Clients rely on the comprehensive experience of our experts to plan successful projects.

Project Development and Productivity Tools

Fluor's Estimate CentricSM approach improves our ability to deliver appropriate, cost-effective solutions that enhance the value of assets and increase long-term business success. This method begins with Fluor's FOCUSSM process, a collaborative work practice that engages all of the project's multidisciplinary team in the project's development.

Fluor uses the engineering project automation tools in our MasterPlant® suite to streamline work and integrate information from multiple databases. These tools include design modeling, engineering analysis, cost estimating, global positioning systems, automatic pipe routing systems, and Web-enabled collaboration tools that improve decision-making. These tools enhance our ability to improve project schedule, control cost, and enhance quality and safety.

Global Resources

Fluor's global workforce provides every project with an exceptional depth and breadth of engineering knowledge and experience, as well as the flexibility to staff projects according to each client's requirements. We have experience using the newest methodologies, technologies, and work practices, and a significant record of solving challenges others cannot resolve.
