Fluor Wins 3 Projects to Restore Power in Iraq

Engineering and construction company Fluor Corp. said it had been awarded three projects by the U.S. government worth $154 million to restore power in Iraq.

The Aliso Viejo-based company said the task orders from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were granted as part of a contract, with a maximum value of $500 million for the first year, awarded last month to support U.S. military operations in hot spots from Iraq to Afghanistan.

Fluor said it would rehabilitate power producing plants in Baghdad, reconstruct a power transmission line in northern Iraq and restore a water intake facility at a thermal power station in southern Iraq.
