KBR to provide power during emergencies
HOUSTON, Nov. 11 (UPI)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has contracted KBR to provide power during emergency or disaster situations.
U.S. company KBR was awarded a $75 million deal from the Army Corps of Engineers for disaster relief services. Under the contract, KBR will supply emergency power for the Western region of the United States in case of a natural or manmade disaster.
KBR officials say during an emergency situation they will provide labor, transportation and equipment, among other services, to support power requirements for designated critical public facilities.
"This award allows KBR the opportunity to expand our capabilities portfolio in the government and infrastructure business to include emergency response, an area of growth due to recent natural disasters," Bruce Stanski, KBR government and infrastructure president, said in a statement.
"We look forward to continuing our relationship with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in this new area and are committed to providing the premier services the Army Corps has come to expect of KBR."
