The combination of Stork’s global asset management expertise and Fluor’s engineering, procurement and construction capability has resonated well in the market and the Group is now uniquely positioned to cover the full asset life cycle, bringing Stork’s specialist technical solutions and maintenance offering to complement the front end engineering design and construction provided by Fluor.
