AMECO, the construction support and fleet outsourcing unit of Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR), today announced that it has been awarded a Site
Services(SM) contract to support the construction of a major
hydroelectric project in Mexico. The contract value was not disclosed.
Over the five-year project, AMECO will provide construction equipment,
vehicles, and large haul trucks used by Constructora el Cajon (CECSA),
which is building the 750-megawatt El Cajon hydroelectric plant near
Tepic, Nayarit.
"AMECO is excited to bring an integrated equipment solution to help make
the project successful. This project is another example of AMECO's
ability to support complex construction projects on a global basis,"
said Russell Miles, vice president of sales for AMECO.
"With AMECO's support as an equipment provider, CECSA is confident that
we will be successful in completing the El Cajon Hydroelectric Project,"
said Luis Horcasitas, CECSA's director. "El Cajon is a strategic project
for the Mexican government, and is one of the largest public
infrastructure projects undertaken in years."
AMECO has delivered fully integrated equipment and tool solutions for
more than 50 years. The company is focused on two primary businesses,
Site Services(SM) and Fleet Outsourcing(SM). The Site Services(SM)
business focuses on providing a complete equipment, tool and indirect
services package for construction projects. The Fleet Outsourcing(SM)
business assists clients in the industrial markets, including heavy
industrial, power and manufacturing facilities, with complete
outsourcing of fleet, tool, and asset management functions.
CECSA is the construction company of the Constructora Internacional de
Infraestructura (CIISA), the consortium formed by Ingenieros Civiles
Asociados, PIADISA -- both subsidiaries of Empresas ICA Sociedad
Controladora (ICA), Mexico's largest engineering and construction
company -- La Peninsular Compania Constructora, and Energomachexport
Power Machines. CIISA was awarded the contract to construct the El Cajon
hydroelectric plant last March by Mexico's Federal Electricity
Commission.
