procurement, construction and maintenance at all of Luminant’s
fossil-fuel plants in Texas
Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR), at a special event today,
celebrated 30 years of providing power plant maintenance and
capital project support services to Luminant, a Texas-based
electric utility company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy
Future Holdings Corporation. Fluor began its alliance with Luminant
in 1984 by providing ongoing maintenance and modification services
at four of the company’s power units. For the next three decades,
that relationship expanded as Fluor now provides support services
at 14 power generating stations for Luminant in Texas.

“We are honored to celebrate this incredible milestone of
providing Luminant with Fluor’s full suite of value-added solutions
and services,” said Matt McSorley, president of Fluor’s Power
business. “This demonstrates the value we place on long-term
relationships with our clients. The success of this alliance is the
direct result of valued and trusted communication between both
companies and a heavy focus by both organizations to achieve the
goals set by Luminant.”
“This long 30-year relationship between Luminant and Fluor is
certainly unique in this business,” said Mike Williams, Luminant’s
chief fossil officer. “It truly is a relationship, not just a
contract. When you work side-by-side for this long, you develop a
deep level of trust and familiarity. It’s a relationship that works
because Fluor understands what we’re about and is committed to
making our goals their goals – not to mention, they’re good at what
they do. Fluor shares in our responsibility of powering Texas
safely and reliably.”
Fluor currently provides power plant maintenance, modification
and capital project services to Luminant at 14 power generating
stations comprising 12 lignite-fired units, 11 natural gas-fired
units and 15 combustion turbine units. The system has a total
capacity of approximately 15,400 megawatts.
As part of a multi-year contact, Fluor supervisors and skilled
craft construction workers provide maintenance and major outage
services for Luminant’s power generating stations.
In July 2010, Fluor completed the engineering, procurement,
construction and commissioning of the 1,600 MW, two-unit Oak Grove
Power Plant for Luminant. Fluor leveraged its global engineering
and procurement resources and used its direct-hire construction
labor in order to meet the project’s aggressive cost and schedule
requirements. The plant is Luminant’s most cost-effective fossil
generation asset and is capable of providing power to about 800,000
homes in Texas. The project was recognized by POWER Magazine as the
“2010 Plant of the Year” and was also selected as a PMI Project of
the Year finalist by the Project Management Institute in 2011.
Leaders from Fluor and Luminant gathered to celebrate this
significant milestone with a ceremony in Dallas.
