WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Granite (NYSE:GVA) has been awarded a $245 million subcontract by Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC (FMP) for the concrete placement construction of the Naval Spent Fuel Handling Facility near Idaho Falls, Idaho. The project was included in Granite’s 2019 Committed and Awarded Projects (CAP)1.

The backfill will include approximately 10 million pounds of rebar and 300,000 cubic yards of concrete materials.
