Founded 100 years ago as a construction company, Fortune 500 company Fluor Corporation is today one of the world's top engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance (EPCM) companies -- and number one in the "
Engineering, Construction" category of
Fortune's 2012 World's Most Admired Companies.
If Fluor's motto isn't "go big or go home," it should be: It employs 43,000 people on six continents, built missile silos for the U.S. Army in the 1960s and, in the 1970s, had a hand in constructing the Alaska Pipeline. The scale of the Irving, Texas-based company's 21st-century projects hasn't gotten any smaller: Among the items on their to-do list now is constructing the East Span of San Francisco's Bay Bridge (as part of a joint venture with American Bridge), and rebuilding New York City's World Trade Center transportation hub.
