Aliso Viejo-based Fluor Corp.’s design work on the Roche Zhongya Citric Acid project in Wuxi, China, has earned the Excellent Design Prize, one of the Chinese chemical industry’s top awards, from the Society of Chemical Construction Companies of China and the Quality Evaluation Commission for Chemical Projects.

“We are delighted to be selected for this design award honor by the Chinese chemical industry,” said Harold Boman, vice president within Fluor’s industrial and infrastructure group. “Since 1978, Fluor has maintained a long-term presence in China with an execution platform that maximizes local resources, suppliers and subcontractors.
