CF awards construction work to CB&I for Louisiana fertilizer expansion

CB&I was awarded a contract valued at approximately $100 million by CF Industries, officials said on Tuesday.

Under the deal, CB&I will perform construction and component fabrication for CF Industries' new urea ammonia nitrate and nitric acid units, offsites and utilities at its complex in Donaldsonville, Louisiana.

"This award is the result of CB&I's comprehensive construction and fabrication capabilities and resources, as well as our previous work for CF Industries," said Patrick Mullen, president of CB&I's engineering, construction and maintenance business.

"Since the 1960s, CB&I has provided tank construction services for CF Industries," he added. "This award builds on our long-standing relationship with our client and expands our experience in the fertilizer industry."
