# KBR — Process technology, engineering and lifecycle delivery for energy and industry > KBR is a Houston-based technology and engineering company whose industrial roots include M.W. Kellogg, established in 1901, and Brown & Root, established in 1919. It provides process licensing, front-end and detailed engineering, project delivery and operating support for LNG, ammonia, hydrogen, refining and petrochemical assets, alongside government technology services. Its selected references distinguish technology supply and FEED from full EPC delivery; a licensed plant’s output belongs to the facility, not to KBR. - **Legal name:** KBR, Inc. - **Headquarters:** Houston, Texas, United States - **Founded:** 1901 - **Official website:** [KBR](https://www.kbr.com/) - **URL:** https://voltformer.com/epc-contractors/kbr - **Markdown:** https://voltformer.com/epc-contractors/kbr.md - **JSON:** https://voltformer.com/epc-contractors/kbr.json ## CEO and leadership profile ### Stuart Bradie Chair of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer Stuart Bradie became KBR’s president and CEO in 2014 and board chair in 2025.

Compare contractors by project technology, country, voltage level and contractual delivery scope. ## Directory methodology This directory presents company profiles, not a scored ranking or certification. Company-wide experience may include engineering, EPCM, equipment supply and consortium roles. Confirm the exact role, current qualifications and project references with the official company before shortlisting. ## What should an EPC enquiry include? Specify the project country, capacity, grid voltage, single-line diagram, site conditions, scope boundaries, target schedule and acceptance tests. Clarify who owns permitting, civil works, grid studies, commissioning and performance guarantees. ## Equipment enquiries submitted here go to Voltformer. Contact the listed company directly for its EPC services. ## Engineering specializations - LNG and gas processing engineering - Ammonia and hydrogen process technology - Petrochemical project delivery - Industrial maintenance and reliability ## Declared capabilities - **Basic and detailed engineering:** Listed capability; confirm project-specific scope - **Procurement and supply:** Listed capability; confirm project-specific scope - **Civil and structural construction:** Listed capability; confirm project-specific scope - **Testing and commissioning:** Listed capability; confirm project-specific scope - **High-voltage substation EPC:** Not listed - **Transmission lines:** Not listed - **Turnkey power plant EPC:** Not listed - **Grid interconnection:** Not listed ## Representative projects ### Coastal Bend LNG - **Capacity / scope:** Coastal Bend LNG design study - **Country:** United States - **Description:** Coastal Bend LNG selected KBR to lead front-end engineering design for its proposed Texas liquefaction and export facility.
