“This is one of Vopak’s largest storage facility projects in
South Africa and the largest storage project undertaken by Fluor in
Africa,” said Al Collins, president of Fluor’s Energy &
Chemicals business in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
“We are pleased to assist Vopak with this project where our team
will use Fluor’s Zero Base ExecutionSM approach to safely develop
fit-for-purpose integrated solutions to optimize the expansion of
the facility,” said Alejandro Escalona, general manager of Fluor in
Sub-Saharan Africa. “Fluor is successfully using Zero Base
Execution all over the world to reduce the cost of facilities while
improving schedule certainty by aligning the design and execution
principles, project drivers and economic needs before design work
begins.”
The expansion project is part of Vopak’s program to facilitate
the increased demand for fuel with cleaner specifications in
Southern Africa by increasing the capacity of fuel storage at its
Durban terminal.
To add value to the project, Fluor will use its global networks
to competitively source material and equipment that cannot be
sourced locally. Local contractors and vendors will also be used to
further develop and sustain the local labor market, enterprises and
economy.
Fluor previously completed Vopak’s Fuel 2 project at the same
location and will similarly execute this project in a safe,
socially, economically and environmentally responsible manner to
benefit future generations.
