Fluor Hosts Community Gatherings in Appreciation of Support
Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) confirmed today that its crews supporting
the mission in Puerto Rico of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
have helped to restore power to more than 232,000 customers throughout
the island since arriving in October. The cooperation and support of the
communities where Fluor’s crews are working has been crucial to this
effort. In appreciation, Fluor is hosting community events in
municipalities in which it is working.
“Our crews continue to show tremendous progress in the field,” said Matt
Hunt, Fluor’s executive program director, Puerto Rico Power Restoration
Project. “Their success in restoring power is driven by their hard work
combined with the support of the USACE, PREPA and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency. This mission is very close to our hearts, and we
thank the Puerto Rican people for their patience and kind gestures as we
work in neighborhoods. We want communities to know that we are committed
to restoring power and we will keep working hard until our job is
complete.”
To show appreciation for the communities in which they are living and
working, Fluor employees and subcontracted crews have held two events –
in the municipalities of Morovis and Hatillo – serving food, and
providing milk, juice and water to more than 800 residents.
“We understand the urgency of the situation and how difficult the last
few months have been for so many families,” said Danny Oppenheimer,
operations manager of Fluor’s Life Sciences and Advanced Manufacturing
business line in Puerto Rico. “Fluor is fully committed to restoring
power for the people of Puerto Rico.”
Fluor has a unique combination of government contingency operations,
commercial power experience and a 54-year presence in the Commonwealth.
The company provides design, engineering, procurement, construction and
commissioning services to Puerto Rican clients in a broad range of high
employment industries including power, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology,
aerospace, manufacturing and food and beverage. This expertise will
enable ongoing efforts to help sustain economic recovery on the island.
