Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that it has completed its
work with Stora Enso’s consumer board machine in Beihai, Guangxi, China.
Fluor senior leadership joined Stora Enso leadership and other
dignitaries to celebrate the official inauguration of the consumer board
machine recently at the Beihai Mill.
Fluor provided procurement and construction management services for the
innovative board machine and associated infrastructure, including power,
water and effluent treatment facilities. The facility is integrated with
a sustainable eucalyptus plantation. Fluor managed more than 5,500 craft
workers at peak on this fast-paced project, which achieved production of
the first consumer board on reel just 18 months after the start of
construction.
“Fluor leveraged our nearly 40 years of experience in China to deliver
this consumer board machine for Stora Enso and the Beihai community
safely and on an unprecedented timeline,” said Ken
Choudhary, president of Fluor’s Asia Pacific business.
At full production, the consumer board machine will produce 450,000 tons
per year of liquid packaging board and other high-grade paperboard
products to meet the demand in China.
“We look forward to delivering the same results on the project’s second
phase, a mechanical pulp mill, as it completes in the fourth quarter of
2016,” said Juan
G. Hernández, president of Fluor’s Life Sciences & Advanced
Manufacturing business.
