"...Single-point responsibility and cost certainty continues to attract clients with a wide range of construction needs."

"As transportation demands outstrip tax revenues and owners turn to innovative financing, design-build provides the cost certainty demanded by investors, says Steve Dobbs, Fluor Corp.s group president for infrastructure. Alternative financing and delivery is often necessary to fund large-scale transportation programs. A Fluor design-build-maintain joint venture is now building one of the largest U.S. highway projects, Texas' $1.5-billion, 49-mile SH 130 toll road, which could be part of the Trans Texas Corridor, a proposed 4,000-mile, $180-billion transportation and utility network."
