The company said its Canadian subsidiary, KBR Wabi, will execute construction and related site support for the expansion of the facility.

As a result of the expansion, the existing capacity of the gas processing plant will grow to 100 million standard cubic feet per day.

This move follows KBR’s recent work for delivering piperack fabrication and module assembly for phase one of the Dawson Creek plant.

KBR Canada senior vice president Karl Roberts said this contract represents an opportunity for KBR to further expand its business in the growing shale gas market in British Columbia.

"I am confident that KBR Wabi’s experience, coupled with our comprehensive execution plan, will ensure successful project delivery for phase two and position KBR to continue building a long-standing, collaborative relationship with our client."

KBR is an engineering, construction and services firm supporting energy, hydrocarbon, government services, minerals, civil infrastructure, power, industrial, and commercial markets.
