Posted: 17 March 2009
Foster Wheeler subsidiary, Foster Wheeler USA Corporation (FWUSA), part of its Global Engineering and Construction Group, has been awarded the full Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCm) services contract from BP Products North America Inc. for the Coker Pillar Project at its Whiting Refinery in Whiting, Indiana.
This award is an increase in role for Foster Wheeler through the addition of the Construction Management (Cm) services beyond the engineering, procurement and fabrication work for this project currently being executed by FWUSA.
"This latest award for this strategically important project constitutes a strong vote of confidence in our construction management expertise and reflects BP America’s satisfaction with our safety, quality and on-schedule performance for work we are currently executing at this refinery," said Troy Roder, president and chief executive officer of Foster Wheeler USA Corporation.
"We look forward to building upon the existing excellent working relationship with our client’s project team."
The value of the contract was not disclosed. The additional Construction Management award will be included in the company’s first-quarter 2009 bookings.
The Coker Pillar Project is part of the overall BP Whiting Refinery modernization project. This upgrade project will allow the refinery to increase its ability to process Canadian heavy crude and provides the potential to increase motor fuel production.
