Following Fluor’s completion of the pre-feasibility study, Teck awarded development of the project sole-source to Fluor, requesting that it start directly with EPCM.
Fluor formed a 50/50 joint venture with JV Driver Industrial, Highland Valley Mill Optimization (HVMO), which implemented direct-hire construction. The joint venture ensured an integrated approach to engineering, procurement and construction that brought value to the project in an effort to minimize cost and schedule.
HVMO performed all activities associated with concrete; structural and mechanical work; piping; electrical and instrumentation work; scaffolding; specialties; and equipment supply.
