NYSE-listed engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance services provider Fluor Corporation has been selected to undertake feasibility study activities for diversified miner Anglo American’s Woodsmith mining project, in England.

Fluor will recognise the undisclosed contract value in the second quarter of 2026.

Woodsmith is a large-scale underground mine that has access to the largest known polyhalite fertiliser deposit in the world.

The mine will extract the low carbon fertiliser through deep shafts and a 37 km, or 23 mile, underground conveyor tunnel to Anglo American’s materials handling facility in Teesside for processing.

“The Woodsmith project has the potential to create a long term, stable and sustainable naturally occurring source of critical fertilisers for global markets,” says Fluor mining and metals president Harish Jammula.

He adds that this contract award reflects the Fluor team’s deep technical expertise and its commitment to executing complex projects safely, responsibly and with excellence.

Construction for tunnelling and shaft sinking is currently underway. When fully operational, the mine is expected to produce 13-million tonnes a year of polyhalite fertiliser.

“We look forward to partnering closely with Anglo American as it advances towards completion of the Woodsmith project,” Jammula concludes.
