As the lead of a joint venture with Technip, we leveraged our worldwide network of highly-qualified local, regional and international resources to execute the engineering, procurement, construction management (EPCm) and commissioning services of utilities, interconnecting and off-sites at the complex.

The work was led from a project office established in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with our engineering and procurement services performed from our Manila, Philippines, execution center. In addition to leveraging our technical experts around the globe, the project benefitted from the wealth of UIO experience that we had developed in Manila over the previous15 years.

The UIO alone was a megaproject with a scope that included: central utilities plant; 780 km of piping; 6,300 km of electrical and instrument cabling; a 15,000 person workers village; field-erected tanks; 600,000 cubic meters of concrete including 41 km of main storm water drainage, which exceeded 35 m wide at the outfall to the sea; 70 km of underground firewater distribution piping; and more than 70 buildings including two main control buildings, laboratories with more than 1,400 pieces of equipment, fire stations, electrical substations, operator shelters, warehouses, and chemical storage. The scope also comprised numerous instrumentation and controls including: distributed controls system supporting over 13,000 I/O points; site-wide telecommunications systems; plant security and surveillance systems; and site-wide IT networks.

A Fluor-Technip consortium had also performed program management consultancy services for RAPID since 2013.
