Fluor Selected For Luminant's $100M-Plus Sandow Contract

Irving, TX - Fluor Corporation announced recently that it will provide construction and commissioning support to Luminant for a $100M-plus contract for air quality control upgrades on its Sandow Plant Unit 4 electric station in Rockdale, Texas. The Sandow Steam Electric Station Unit 4 is a lignite-fueled generating unit owned and operated by Luminant. Fluor booked the full contract value in the first quarter of 2008.

"Air quality issues are important both in Texas as well as throughout the continental U.S.," said David Constable, president of Fluor's Power Group. "We look forward to helping Luminant improve air quality through nitrogen oxide reductions at Sandow with state-of-the-art emissions controls. Since 1984, Fluor has been fully committed to supporting Luminant's business and plant operational goals."

In addition to this new contract, Fluor has provided front-end design and detailed engineering for this selective catalytic reduction project. Fluor is also providing engineering, procurement and construction services for selective non-catalytic reduction and activated carbon injection projects at Luminant's Sandow, Martin Lake, Monticello and Big Brown sites.

"This project will use advanced clean air technology to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions in central Texas," said Luminant Construction Chief Executive Officer Chuck Enze. "With a business relationship of more than 20 years, Fluor has been fully committed to supporting our business and plant operational goals. We look forward to continuing this work with Fluor, our valued contractor."

Engineering began in May 2007, with an estimated construction completion date of May 2010. Site mobilization occurred in January 2008, with the major tie-in outage scheduled for February to April 2010.

Luminant, a subsidiary of Energy Future Holdings Corp., is a competitive power generation business including mining, wholesale marketing and trading, construction and development operations. Luminant has over 18,300 megawatts of generation in Texas, including 2,300 megawatts of nuclear and 5,800 megawatts of coal-fueled generation capacity.
