Fluor Daniel Williams Brothers.

• Position: Management - Company Profile

Fluor Daniel Williams Brothers has long been a partner in the development of Alaska's resources. Already a major player prior to statehood, Fluor provided engineering and construction services for projects such as the Eielson Air Force Base power plant and the CANOL and Haines pipeline projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

"Fluor's involvement in Alaska grew during Prudhoe Bay development, as we became one of the major providers of engineering services for production facilities, the trans-Alaska pipeline and the Valdez terminal, states Jim Siedhoff, manager of Fluor Daniel Williams Brothers Alaska operations. The Anchorage office of Fluor Daniel opened its doors in 1984. This office was renamed Fluor Daniel Alaska in 1988, following Fluor's merger with Daniel Construction of Greenville, S.C.

Williams Brothers Engineering Co., whose engineers also have many years experience in the development of Alaska's petroleum industry, joined with the Fluor Daniel team in 1990. "Williams Brothers brought Fluor Daniel an even broader base of expertise, particularly in the area of onshore and offshore pipeline design, says Cecil Roberts, project manager. "Their arctic expertise, when combined with that of Fluor Daniel, provides our Alaska clients with an unparalleled package of capabilities."

Recently the trans-Alaska pipeline remedial work at Atigun Pass for Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. was awarded Project of the Year by the Project Management Institute (PMI) at both state and national levels. Williams Brothers' engineers provided the design and quality assurance services for this project.

Today, Fluor Daniel Williams Brothers continues to provide engineering service to commercial, industrial and government clients. "We are a full service engineering contractor, offering structural, architectural, mechanical and electrical design services," states Jim Landman, engineering manager.

"The majority of our workload support the oil and gas industry in Alaska," states Jim Siedhoff. "As a corporation, we have a world wide commitment to the petroleum industry, and we are committed to provide those quality services in Alaska as long as we are needed. While other companies elected to leave Alaska in the mid-80's downturn, we remained to provide service for our clients."

Fluor Daniel Williams Brothers is the largest engineering office in Alaska, currently employing more than 165 people. "The thing that makes this office work is our people," says Siedhoff...
