Fluor Corp.’s Mining & Metals business has been selected by BHP Canada to develop Stage 2 of its Jansen potash project in Saskatchewan, the Texas-based company announced. Fluor did not disclose the contract value.
BHP Group Ltd. on Oct. 31 said it has green-lighted an investment of $4.9 billion for Jansen Stage 2, which, when complete, will add another 4.36 million mt/y of potassium chloride capacity to Stage 1’s 4.35 million mt/y currently under development (GM Nov. 3, p. 1).
Fluor said project execution is scheduled to begin later this month and will be managed through its Calgary and Vancouver offices. The company expects to recognize the reimbursable contract value for Jansen Stage 2 in the fourth quarter of 2023.
“This award is a testament to our track record of successfully delivering complex mega-projects, coupled with our expertise in fertilizer production and execution capability in western Canada,” said Tony Morgan, President of Fluor’s Mining & Metals business.
