Using its proprietary 3rd Gen Modular ExecutionSM approach,
Fluor designed and built the facility using 69 separate
interlocking modules that were assembled at the jobsite. This
Athabasca oil sands project was delivered under budget and on
schedule with an exemplary construction safety record.
Fluor was responsible for the engineering, procurement and
construction services for the capture portion of the Quest CCS
project that was built adjacent to an existing operating facility.
In order to minimize the capital costs of the new facility and
reduce disruptions to the existing operating facility, Fluor
implemented its modular execution strategy to fabricate the
interlocking modules offsite and then deliver them for
installation. Fluor’s design approach, which compresses the space
requirements of a typical plant, reduced material quantities and
the construction labor hours required in the field. The approach
also delivered capital efficiencies to the project and shortened
the time to completion following delivery of the final module.
“The successful completion of the Shell Quest CCS project
demonstrates the value of Fluor’s 3rd Gen Modular Execution, an
innovative project execution delivery that lowers costs and
improves schedule predictability for our clients,” said Jim
Brittain, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in
the Americas region. “By implementing this technology in the early
phases and delivering it throughout the full project execution, we
were able to reduce the plot space of the facility by approximately
20 percent and eliminate material and labor costs from the project.
This brought additional value to our client and enabled us to
complete construction on schedule.”
Fluor’s 3rd Gen Modular Execution platform optimizes work at
site in order to reduce costs, improve safety, enhance worker
productivity and quality assurance and reduce the overall
environmental footprint.
The project, built by Fluor’s direct-hire construction staff,
was completed with a strong safety performance that achieved a zero
lost time incident rate with more than 1.3 million hours
worked.
The Quest CCS project will capture approximately one million
metric tons of carbon dioxide per year from the Scotford Upgrader
and store it deep underground. The project was recognized as a 2015
Global Best Project by Engineering News-Record in the
Power/Industrial category and is a finalist for the 2015 Platts
Global Energy Awards Engineering Project of the Year.
