This followed a competitive tendering process initiated and completed in 2016. Fluor will book the undisclosed contract value in the March quarter of 2017.

Rick Koumouris, president of Fluor’s Mining & Metals business, commented: “Fluor will provide a highly qualified design and optimisation team with world-class process infrastructure credentials for this important fertilizer project.

“In addition to working with Danakali to maximise project capital efficiency during the study and execution phases, Fluor will bring top-notch project financing expertise and assistance to help Danakali advance this project to the next phase.”
