URS is under contract for the project’s front-end engineering design phase and will work closely with LNG Canada’s main contractor, CFSW LNG Constructors, a joint venture with affiliates of Chiyoda Corporation, Foster Wheeler, Saipem, and WorleyParsons.

“We look forward to providing our skilled resources, in multiple locations and time zones, to support the LNG Canada project.
