Burns and Roe Enterprises, Inc. and Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, Co., Ltd. Create Alliance
By Burns and Roe  
Burns and Roe Enterprises, Inc., one of the United States’ oldest and largest critical infrastructure engineering firms, and the Korea-based manufacturer and constructor, Doosan Heavy Industries, today announced the formation of an alliance that will provide Burns and Roe’s engineering support to Doosan Heavy’s project base. The agreement seconds a team of Burns and Roe engineering staff to work with Doosan Heavy Industries on the engineering of Doosan Heavy’s fossil thermal power projects globally.

“We are honored to form this alliance with Doosan, and it represents an important opportunity for us both,” said Keith Roe, Chairman and President of Burns and Roe Enterprises. “Burns and Roe traditionally works with many strategic clients in long term relationships. This agreement with Doosan, a leading manufacturer and constructor of power projects worldwide, will advance our relationship to a level where Burns and Roe can help support Doosan’s power projects on a broad basis. We look forward to building on our long history with Doosan Heavy Industries, while bringing Doosan’s new and existing clients the strong performance and customer service we have demonstrated throughout our 75 year history.”

“Through this alliance, Doosan Heavy has gained highly efficient plant design capabilities and technologies relevant for thermal power plants, which are expected to enlarge the company’s project award pool and increase its profitability,” said Geewon Park, CEO of Doosan Heavy Industries.

The alliance came about because the two companies identified a synergy to support the growing power market within Doosan’s project base in the expanding thermal power generation markets. Burns and Roe brings technological expertise that has made it one of the foremost engineering, procurement, construction, operations and service companies. In particular, as many nations look for ways to develop power for their emerging economies, the need for sources of electricity that are both technologically advanced and environmentally sound will grow.
