Fluor Corporation’s (NYSE: FLR) commuter rail maintenance facility for
the Regional Transportation District’s (RTD) commuter rail network in
metro Denver has been awarded LEED® Gold certification.
The commuter rail maintenance facility is part of Fluor’s Eagle P3
Project to design, build, finance, operate and maintain three commuter
rail lines that are scheduled to open in 2016.
The LEED rating system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council
(USGBC), is the foremost program for design, construction and operation
of green buildings, improving environmental and human health performance.
The 230,000-square-foot facility’s sustainable features were evaluated
based on the long-term environmental and fiscal impact benefiting the
operation of the facility as well as the local community.
“This facility will benefit the community for years to come,” said Terry
Towle, Fluor’s Infrastructure president. “Fluor's collaborative
approach to project development, execution and delivery enhanced the
sustainable features of this facility, which is recognized by the
achievement of LEED Gold certification.”
After a LEED plaque dedication on Saturday, July 25, with speakers from
Fluor, PCL Construction (the design-build subcontractor) and RTD, the
commuter rail maintenance facility was opened for public tours.
The Denver
Eagle P3 Project was awarded by RTD to the Fluor-led joint venture
of Denver Transit Partners in July 2010. Denver Transit Partners is
comprised of a partnership between Fluor Enterprises, Inc., a unit of
Fluor Corporation; Denver Rail (Eagle) Holdings, Inc., a unit of John
Laing plc; Aberdeen Infrastructure Investments (No. 4) USA LLC, a unit
of Aberdeen Global Infrastructure Partners LP. Other team members
include Balfour Beatty Rail Inc., ACI, Ames Construction and HDR.
