Fluor

reached with Texas Central Rail Holdings, LLC (Texas Central), to
advance the preliminary development of the 240-mile high-speed passenger
rail line connecting Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston.
“Fluor’s global expertise in developing the world’s largest
megaprojects, matched with its ability to provide integrated solutions
to clients across the globe, position the company well with Texas
Central,” said Hans
Dekker, president of Fluor’s infrastructure business line. “We will
use our industry experience and proven track record of delivering
high-speed rail projects to provide high-value services for this
significant infrastructure project.”
Fluor will support Texas Central during the preliminary development by
refining the project’s engineering, design-build cost estimate, schedule

financial close, Fluor and its partners would be the preferred
design-builder of the project connecting North Texas and Houston.
