KBR Company Description
If you thought KBR was only about Iraqi contracts, think again. The construction and engineering company operates in four segments: civil infrastructure, government contracts, energy and chemical services, and joint ventures. Although its contracts in Iraq account for about 50% of its sales, the company focuses on its engineering and construction operations. KBR builds, designs, and manages airports and energy and chemical plants; provides engineering, environmental, and transportation services; performs security and threat analyses; and designs and manages urban rail projects. Oil field services giant Halliburton spun off about 20% of KBR through an IPO in 2006 and divested the rest in 2007.
