Westinghouse hires Fluor to manage personnel at 2 nuclear plant projects

Fluor Corporation, the Texas-based construction and engineering firm, has been subcontracted by Westinghouse Electric Co. for workforce-management services on two nuclear power plant projects involving four Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power generators in Georgia and South Carolina.

Westinghouse serves as the main engineering, procurement and construction contractor for those projects. Fluor, which specializes in engineering complex mega-projects, has been subcontracted to handle the labor-management end of the nuclear projects.

The Georgia project entails the construction of Plant Vogtle Units 3 & 4 near Waynesboro.

SCANA/Santee Cooper ordered construction on the second Westinghouse/Fluor nuclear generator project in South Carolina. That project will add two new reactors at V.C. Summer Nuclear Station in Fairfield County.

Fluor Chairman and CEO David Seaton said the company is looking forward to working on the nuclear mega-projects alongside Westinghouse.

“These projects reconfirm our commitment to the nuclear power industry and are in line with our strategy to expand our construction footprint,” Seaton said. “We share the vision with Westinghouse, Georgia Power and SCANA/Santee Cooper that nuclear power matters to the future of clean energy.”

Fluor Corporation, through its subsidiaries, provides engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and modularization, commissioning and maintenance, and project-management services worldwide. The company has five divisions: Oil & Gas, Industrial & Infrastructure, Government, Global Services and Power.
