Fluor Secures $2.3B Uranium EPC Role and Eyes $4T Data Center Market
Fluor Corporation has been appointed as the EPC contractor for Centrus Energy’s $2.3 billion uranium enrichment plant expansion in Piketon, Ohio, overseeing installation of AC100M centrifuges. The company is also capitalizing on its data center engineering expertise as global data center spending is forecast to reach $4 trillion by 2030.
1. EPC Contract for Piketon Uranium Plant
Fluor has been appointed as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor for Centrus Energy’s American Centrifuge Plant expansion in Piketon, Ohio. The scope includes design, supply chain management and installation of AC100M centrifuges to boost low-enriched uranium and high-assay, low-enriched uranium capacity.
2. Data Center Market Opportunity
Global data center spending is projected to reach $4 trillion by 2030, driving demand for engineering and construction services. Fluor’s established track record in building hyperscale and enterprise data centers positions it to capture a significant share of this growing market.
3. Financial and Strategic Impact
These projects expand Fluor’s backlog with a $2.3 billion nuclear contract while diversifying its portfolio through high-growth data center work. Combined, they are expected to bolster revenue, enhance project pipeline visibility and strengthen its positioning in critical infrastructure sectors.
