Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) was awarded a construction contract by
American Electric Power (AEP) to provide environmental retrofit services
at the utility company’s Northeastern power station in Oologah,
Oklahoma. Fluor booked the contract for an undisclosed value in the
third quarter of 2014.
The environmental retrofit project involves adding activated carbon and
dry sorbent injection systems for Unit 3 at the plant to control
emissions of mercury, sulfur dioxide and acid gasses. Fluor will also
install a new pulse jet fabric filter to remove particulates from the
emissions of Unit 3.
“We look forward to working with AEP on this power project,” said Matt
McSorley, president of Fluor’s Power business. “Fluor will deliver
our construction expertise in order to improve the environmental
efficiencies of the Northeastern power station.”
Fluor will be responsible for the demolition, installation and erection
of the above-ground mechanical and structural systems and components,
and the work will be performed by Fluor’s direct-hire construction
staff. The company will also provide other associated engineering and
procurement services.
Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, AEP is one of the largest electric
utilities in the U.S. and serves more than 5 million customers in 11
states. The Northeastern power station is operated by AEP’s Public
Service Company of Oklahoma.
