Executive Summary


Fluor provided total construction services for this 350,000-square-foot nonwoven products manufacturing facility. Located on a 140-acre site in Georgia, the plant was divided into four distinct production areas: the process tower, a utility area, a finish area and a warehouse. A manmade lake for fire control purposes was also added to serve the facilities.

The project was successfully completed two months ahead of schedule.

Client's Challenge


The plant produced a nonwoven fabric used in healthcare products such as surgical clothing wraps, recreational products such as tents and boat covers and industrial paper products. Part of the nonwoven material produced was used in disposable diaper plants that we constructed for Kimberly-Clark.

Fluor's Solution


Approximately 800 craft workers were employed during construction. An important feature of the project's staffing is that 100% of the craft employees were certified in Fluor's craft certification program.

Conclusion


In addition to this LaGrange facility, we completed a similar facility for Kimberly-Clark in Lexington, North Carolina.

We have also carried out work at Kimberly Clark plants in Coosa Pines, Alabama, Ogden, Utah, and Paris, Texas.
