Aliso Viejo’s Fluor Corp. has been tapped to help restore a power plant in South Africa as part of a $530 million contract.
Eskom Holdings Ltd., South Africa’s electricity utility, awarded the contract to Fluor and partner Pangaea, a consulting company.
Details of Fluor’s contract portion weren’t disclosed. The company said it booked its portion during the fourth quarter.
Fluor and Pangaea are set to provide engineering, procurement and construction management services to renovate a coal-fired power plant in central South Africa.
The plant’s six 200-megawatt units were mothballed from 1989 to 1990.
The first unit is expected to be up and running in 2007. All six are expected to be online by 2009.
Fluor plans to handle the project from its Sunninghill office near Johannesburg.
