HOUSTON -- KBR has successfully completed construction of facilities for the Coalition Forces on the Iraqi oil transfer platforms in the Persian Gulf. The project was a task order under KBR's Contingency Construction Capabilities (CONCAP) contract with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC).
The contract stated that all work, including the design, procurement, and construction of the facilities, be completed within six months. KBR completed the construction phase in 120 days during the height of the winter storm season. The successfully-completed facilities include berthing, restrooms, galleys, and support infrastructure to include power generation and distribution, fresh water production and distribution, and fire protection systems for the facilities. The project achieved more than 150,000 man-hours onboard vessels, ashore and on the platform without any recordable injuries.
"KBR was able to overcome significant design and logistical challenges and successfully completed the work on time, despite rough seas and an extreme range of both hot and cold weather," says Richard Graves, vice president of KBR's G & I Design and Construction unit.
