FLUOR CORPORATION
Fluor Corporation’s LNG Canada Phase 1 Project
Action Plan
Kitimat, British Columbia | JGC-Fluor Joint Venture | LNG Export Infrastructure
PROJECT BASELINE
VERIFIED POSITION
Client
LNG Canada; joint venture participants are Shell, PETRONAS, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation and KOGAS.
Fluor role
Fluor and JGC delivered engineering, procurement, fabrication and module delivery, construction of infrastructure and utilities, marine
structures, LNG storage and commissioning-related work.
Facility
Two LNG processing trains in Phase 1 with total initial capacity of up to 14 million tonnes per annum.
Modularization
More than 215 modules were fabricated and delivered to Kitimat; the final module arrived in July 2023.
Completion
Fluor and JGC completed Train 2 in December 2025, marking completion of Phase 1. LNG Canada loaded its first export cargo in June
2025.
Current extension
In June 2026, the JGC-Fluor joint venture received limited notice to proceed for proposed Phase 2 front-end work.
Strategic foundation
This research-based action plan translates the publicly documented LNG Canada Phase 1 delivery model into an integrated EPC framework.
The project combined remote-site logistics, large-scale modular fabrication, complex marine transportation, stringent safety and environmental
requirements, local and Indigenous participation, heavy construction and progressive commissioning.
Strategic objective
Deliver a repeatable megaproject execution system that connects engineering, procurement, module fabrication, transportation, site
construction, commissioning, workforce planning, stakeholder engagement and project controls.
Core execution priorities
• Treat modular fabrication and site construction as one synchronized production system.
• Protect module design, fabrication, inspection, shipping and set sequence through integrated logistics controls.
• Use progressive system completion and commissioning readiness rather than relying on end-stage turnover.
• Coordinate skilled-craft demand with local, provincial and Canadian workforce development.
• Embed safety, environmental protection, community and First Nations engagement into project execution.
• Use data, digital tools and project-execution analytics where they are demonstrably mature and appropriate.

1. Current Situation & Project Architecture
Verified project facts
• Fluor’s project case study identifies LNG Canada as the largest energy investment in Canadian history at the time of final investment decision.
• The JGC-Fluor joint venture delivered engineering, procurement, fabrication and module delivery, infrastructure and utilities, marine
structures, LNG storage and related construction/commissioning services.
• More than 215 modules of varying sizes were received and set at site. The largest were approximately 45 m wide, 75 m deep and 47 m high.
• Fluor states that the project’s modular approach allowed site preparation and construction to proceed in parallel with off-site module
fabrication, reducing site congestion and community disruption.
• At peak construction, Fluor reports approximately 8,100 workers, with 99% Canadian and about one-quarter from British Columbia. Its case
study also states that more than 4,500 jobs were created at peak construction.
• Fluor and JGC handed over Train 2 in December 2025, completing the first phase. LNG Canada loaded its first export cargo in June 2025 and
had reached 50 cargoes by February 2026.

Delivery principles
• Synchronize fabrication release with site foundations and installation windows.
• Use transportation engineering and SPMT movement planning as part of the construction schedule.
• Sequence mechanical completion and commissioning by system so completed areas can move into testing early.
• Maintain a controlled interface between Fluor/JGC construction execution and LNG Canada’s operations/startup organization.

2. Strategic Priorities & Action Areas
01 Global modular fabrication strategy
Coordinate module design, procurement, fabrication-yard production, inspection, marine transport and site installation as a single integrated
schedule. Use modularization where it reduces site congestion, weather exposure or craft intensity.
02 Marine logistics & module integration
Control vessel windows, route constraints, unloading, SPMT movements, laydown areas and set sequences. Protect the installation sequence
from late module release or shipping disruption.
03 Engineering & constructability
Freeze interfaces early, review module/site boundaries, maintain model coordination and perform constructability reviews before fabrication
and field release.
04 Commissioning & turnover
Develop system completion dossiers progressively, establish test packs, close punch items systematically and align construction turnover with
LNG introduction and startup.
05 Workforce & skills mobilization
Forecast craft demand by discipline and phase, maintain training pipelines and use local/Canadian workforce participation programs to support
peak demand.
06 Safety, environmental & community execution
Use leading safety indicators, environmental controls, marine protections, community communication and First Nations engagement as active
execution workstreams.
07 Digital project controls
Use project execution data, schedule analytics, supply-chain visibility and appropriate AI-enabled tools to improve predictability, while
maintaining human review and project-specific validation.

AI and digital evidence correction
Fluor’s 2025 Integrated Report confirms that the company is scaling AI and digital tools for supply-chain analytics, safer construction, predictive
project control and productivity. The report does not establish that every specific LNG Canada control cited in the supplied narrative used AI,
Unison or a 20-year historical-data model. This action plan therefore treats those technologies as recommended enterprise capabilities rather
than attributing unverified project-specific implementations.

Verified outcomes
• Fluor and JGC completed Train 2 in December 2025, marking completion of Phase 1 of the LNG Canada megaproject.
• LNG Canada loaded its first export cargo in June 2025; by February 2026, LNG Canada reported its 50th cargo departure.
• More than 215 modules were fabricated and delivered to the site, with the final module arriving in July 2023.
• Fluor reported more than 35,000 workers contributed to construction; its project case study reports approximately 8,100 workers at peak and
99% Canadian workforce participation.
• In June 2026, the JGC-Fluor joint venture received limited notice to proceed for proposed Phase 2 expansion front-end work.
Important distinction
The supplied narrative’s “95%+ completion” statement reflects a 2024 LNG Canada progress update when construction was more than 95%
complete overall. It should not be presented as the final project outcome. Phase 1 was subsequently completed in 2025, followed by
commercial export operations.

Planning conclusion
LNG Canada Phase 1 demonstrates a delivery model built around modularization, integrated logistics, disciplined construction, workforce
development, progressive commissioning and strong stakeholder coordination. For future megaprojects, the reusable action-plan lesson is to
treat off-site fabrication, site installation and commissioning as one connected production system governed by common schedule, quality,
safety and readiness controls.
