Dutch engineering company 2248 Fluor Corporation is part of the 3Angle consortium, a special purpose company selected as the preferred bidder by the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management of the Netherlands (Rijkswaterstaat) for the A27/A1 public private partnership (PPP) project in the Netherlands.

The 3Angle consortium, comprised of Fluor, Heijmans Capital and 3i Infrastructure, will carry out the design, build, management, maintenance and financing of existing and new infrastructure of the A27 motorway between Utrecht and Hilversum and the A1 between Utrecht and Bunschoten-Spakenburg. The project has a total value of approximately US$244 million (€220 million) and includes a 25-year management and maintenance period.

The A27 project is intended to improve safety and traffic flow by widening the motorway from two to three lanes and widening the A1 motorway from two to four lanes. The project will also reduce congestion and enhance the quality of life in surrounding communities. Construction is due to be completed in 2019.
