Markets Experience
Kiewit Energy specializes in construction projects as diverse as the geographical area it covers. Pursuing a wide range of construction services to the oil and gas industry, the district prides itself on delivering quality projects on-time or ahead of schedule.
One of the first EPC contracts awarded, the Canadian Natural Resources Limited Horizon project involves the extraction of oil sands reserves. In January 2005, a Kiewit-led partnership was awarded this engineer-procure-construct (EPC) contract for an 800-tons-per-day gas-treating and sulphur recovery plant.
A Kiewit-led joint venture constructed the second phase of the 22,000-barrels-per-day (BPD), steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) EPC project. The scope of work included a central plant facility, well pads and pipeline as well as a featured 85-megawatt turbine, a generator, a heat recovery steam generator and a once-through steam generator.
Kiewit was awarded the $57 million Pine Bend II project as part of a larger $350 million project to produce ultralow-sulfur diesel fuels and convert diesel fuel to gasoline. Completed in April 2006, the project was completed on time.
The $232 million Mount Vernon Ethanol project is located near the Ohio River in Mount Vernon. When complete, the plant will produce 113 million gallons per year of corn-based ethanol.
With a peak employment of more than 1,000 personnel, a Kiewit-led joint venture is engineering, procuring and constructing this 18-module, 11,000-tonne topsides at its Newfoundland fabrication facilities. The topsides will be integrated with a hull and turret for a projected “sail away” completion in July 2005.
Construction of the world's largest residue fluid catalytic cracking unit was completed in the fall of 2000. This $1 billion project included 43,000 meters of above-ground piping, 29,000 meters of steam tracing, and installation of more than 100 large pieces of mechanical equipment. Working within tight quarters above ground, the team delivered the project on time and under budget.
