We are proud of the way our project sites and global Community Relations teams have responded and adapted to continue serving our clients and communities.
U.S. Army Rock Island Arsenal — Fluor-led Rock Island Integrated Services has maintained normal operations throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, providing critical support to the U.S. Army Garrison Rock Island Arsenal, the largest U.S. Government-owned weapons manufacturing arsenal. Through the implementation of social distancing measures such as limiting occupants to one per vehicle, enhanced cleaning protocols and wearing masks in public spaces, the team has been successful in its efforts to provide uninterrupted service to the Army.
Milliken Allen Plant Expansion — The Milliken Expansion Project has continued as planned during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fluor and our subcontractors are continuing to work and refine safety protocols as updated pandemic response guidelines and information become available. Safety protocols on site include temperature screening upon entry, social distancing in work areas including construction trailers, face coverings required when social distancing is not achievable, modified break and lunch schedule, additional bus services to reduce bus occupancy levels and additional cleaning services in break and common areas.
Idaho National Laboratory Site — Information Management (IM) specialists who support Fluor Idaho at the Idaho National Laboratory Site were tasked with preparing hundreds of employees to work remotely using company-provided laptop computers or enabling workers to securely use privately owned home computers or laptops. This massive telecommuting effort was needed to enable the company to continue supporting mission-critical cleanup work and programs in compliance with the 1995 Idaho Settlement Agreement and other pacts with the state of Idaho.
"Before the pandemic, we had very few remote users," Blaine Jensen, Fluor Idaho IM manager, said. "Now, we're working toward nearly half of our entire workforce being able to work remotely."

Gliwice, Poland — Fluor's Poland office is pleased to support its local hospital, Szpital Wielospecjalistyczny, in the fight against COVID-19 with a donation of 2,000 hygiene masks as well as PLN 40,000 towards the purchase of a respirator for newborns in the hospital's maternity ward.
"Our office chose to support this hospital because it supports not only Gliwice, but also nearby cities where other maternity wards are closed due to the pandemic. Our hope is that this donation will enable the hospital to quickly purchase a respirator to help doctors and nurses save lives of those babies who have just arrived in the world," explains Grzegorz Czul, Gliwice Office General Manager.
