Fluor Corporation has achieved mechanical completion on BASF’s Zhanjiang Verbund project in South China. This is BASF’s largest investment to date and was delivered with a safety record of more than 75 million work hours without a Lost Time Injury, says the company.
Fluor provided critical engineering, procurement and construction support for BASF’s integrated operations. These included an EOEG process unit, 220kV substation, steam plant, water treatment systems, seawater intake, and distributed cooling towers. Wastewater treatment and waste handling units, container yard, automated warehouses, and site‑wide piping and logistics infrastructure were also included.
Fluor began early site work in late 2021 – and at its peak – approximately 13,000 workers were engaged across multiple construction areas. Once fully operational, the Zhanjiang Verbund Site will be BASF’s third largest Verbund site worldwide. The site will serve as a model for sustainable production in China and globally.
