Kimberly-Clark Ogden Consumer Products Facility

Working within a highly-compressed schedule, Fluor completed construction of this $110-million grass-roots consumer products manufacturing facility in just nine months.

Fluor provided a fast-track execution delivery to include structural buildings, infrastructure, utilities and installation of process equipment.

Client's Challenge

To meet growing market demand for disposable diapers, Kimberly-Clark sanctioned a capital project to build the greenfield Ogden manufacturing plant. Covering an area of 430,000 square feet under roof, the facility includes the manufacturing area, automated storage and retrieval systems, a mechanical and electrical building, an office building, a security building, truck and train docks, and service support facilities.

Fluor's Solution

The fast-track schedule necessitated the closest possible cooperation between the design and construction teams. Through weekly constructability reviews with the construction team, the design team was able to incorporate a substantial number of cost-saving approaches.

An emphasis on quality by Kimberly-Clark and Fluor prevailed throughout the project. The resultant smooth checkout and start-up of production, with saleable products being produced over six weeks earlier than planned, was indicative of the success of this project.
