Fluor Subsidiary Receives 2 Contracts Worth $37 Million

Fluor Daniel Inc. said it has received two contracts valued at more than $37 million to help build and operate a plant that will produce liquid carbon dioxide used in carbonated beverage and food processing.

Intercontinental Energy Corp. of Hingam, Mass., has hired Fluor Daniel, the primary operating subsidiary of Irvine-based Fluor Corp. to provide engineering, construction, start-up and performance testing for a 350-ton-per-day liquid carbon dioxide production facility. Under a second agreement, Fluor Daniel will operate and maintain the plant to be built in Bellingham, Mass., for at least three years, with the option of a two-year extension.

Fluor Daniel also said that it had been awarded a contract by Mannesmann Anlagenbau, an international pipeline construction company and a subsidiary of Dusseldorf-based Mannesmann GmbH. Under terms of the contract, Fluor Daniel will perform engineering services in a project to expand a pipeline connecting oil production facilities on the east coast of Saudi Arabia to the port of Yanbu on the country's west coast.
