KBR was awarded a general works contract for phase two construction at a raw gas processing and compression facility near Dawson Creek, British Columbia, the company announced August 22.

KBR’s Canadian subsidiary, KBR Wabi, will execute construction and related site support for the expansion of the facility, increasing the existing capacity to 100 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d). The award follows KBR’s recent work for delivering piperack fabrication and module assembly for phase one of the Dawson Creek plant.

“This contract represents an opportunity for KBR to further expand its business in the rapidly increasing shale gas market in British Columbia,” Karl Roberts, senior vice president, KBR Canada, said in a company statement.
