Fluor-Led Team Selected as Finalist for PMI's International Project of the Year Award

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fluor Corporation (NYS: FLR) announced today that the Project Management Institute (PMI) selected Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC (SRNS), a Fluor-led partnership and Department of Energy (DOE) contractor, as one of three finalists for PMI'sInternational Project of the Year award. PMI is the world's largest not-for-profit membership association for the project management profession, and the project of the year award is the organization's highest honor.

Fluor-led SRNS was nominated for $1.4 billion in work completed under Savannah River Site's (SRS) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) cleanup from April 2009 through December 2012, one of the largest scopes of work authorized under ARRA. The ARRA mission required that the project accelerate the reduction of the DOE's site liability, which included reducing the legacy waste at the site while simultaneously creating jobs and stimulating the struggling economy. SRNS's cleanup effort's major accomplishments included the following:

  • Bringing 85 percent of the site's total 310 square miles up to footprint reduction cleanup standards, thereby exceeding the baseline goal of 75 percent;

  • Remediating the site's legacy inventory of 5,000 cubic meters of transuranic radioactive waste; and

  • Creating or retaining more than 4,600 local jobs.


"We are honored by this prestigious nomination and are incredibly proud of all of the hardworking and dedicated SRNS employees responsible for making this project a resounding success," said Bruce Stanski, president of Fluor's Government Group.

"Nearly eight years of work were successfully compressed into a 45-month period of performance as part of this tremendous undertaking. We're proud of the positive impact that this project has had on the site, the local region and the national economy, and congratulate the entire team for a job well done," he said.

Nomination packages for each of the three finalists are currently under review by a PMI-approved volunteer panel of experienced practitioners from across the globe. The PMI 2013 Project of the Year award will be presented at the PMI Global Congress in New Orleans, La. later this year.

In 2007, Fluor won for its work at the DOE's Fernald Site near Cincinnati, Ohio. Finally, in 2011, Fluor was a finalist for Luminant's Oak Grove coal-fired power plant in Central Texas.
