Business Wire
KBR (NYSE:KBR) today announced that it has successfully completed
construction on facilities for the Coalition Forces on the Iraqi
Oil Transfer Platforms in the Persian Gulf. The project was a task
order under KBR�s Contingency Construction Capabilities (CONCAP)
contract with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC).
The contract stipulated that all work, including the design,
procurement and construction of the facilities, be completed within
six months. KBR completed the construction phase in 120 days during
the height of the winter storm season, which presented significant
challenges. The successfully completed facilities include berthing,
restrooms, galleys and support infrastructure to include power
generation and distribution, fresh water production and
distribution and fire protection systems for the facilities.
Berthing units were designed to be more comfortable with private
entrances to adjoining restrooms. The project achieved more than
150,000 man-hours onboard vessels, ashore and on the platform
without any recordable injuries. �KBR was able to overcome
significant design and logistical challenges and successfully
completed the work on time, despite rough seas and an extreme range
of both hot and cold weather,� said Richard Graves, Vice President
of KBR�s G & I Design and Construction unit. �This project
highlights our ability to safely deliver a quality product to our
customer, even under the most adverse conditions.� KBR is a global
