Bechtel Corporation

🤔 Did you know? Bechtel built the world's first nuclear reactor to generate usable electricity. That was 1958. Nearly 70 years later, we're building the first certified commercial-scale advanced reactor of the 21st century — the Natrium® plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming. And this builds on decades of delivery. Our Bechtel teams have designed, built, or provided services for 150 nuclear plants worldwide — including more than 80% of the U.S. nuclear fleet — bringing more than 76,000 megawatts of new nuclear generation capacity online. Some companies follow the industry. We move it forward. #BechtelBuiltThat

Delivered seven months ahead of schedule. 95% waste diversion. 6 million tonnes of beneficial reuse. Built to connect thousands of travelers daily. The Western Sydney International Airport project just won Project Team of the Year at the New Civil Engineer Airports Awards in London -- and those numbers are why. As Delivery Partner since 2018, Bechtel worked together with our partners at WSA Co, and contractors ACCIONA, Multiplex, BMD Group, Seymour Whyte, DXC Technology, CPB Contractors, and the full supply chain to deliver Australia's first greenfield international airport in more than 50 years. The judges called it benchmark-setting for collaborative delivery. We'd call it 128 years of doing what we do best. 🎥⬇️

Supporting our colleagues' mental health and well-being requires more than awareness — it requires action, support, and conversations that meet people where they are. Through our partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and leadership of the Hard Hat Courage campaign, we're equipping our workforce with the tools and resources needed to support one another on and off the jobsite. 🤝 During #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, several Bechtel project professionals — including talent acquisition and new hire orientation trainers, ES&H and medical professionals, and other functional support leaders — completed AFSP's Talk Saves Lives: Construction train-the-trainer program. Now, they’re certified to bring suicide prevention conversations directly to our jobsites, reaching colleagues at every level. The model is intentional: build a network of facilitators within our own workforce so this isn't just a one-off training — it's embedded in how we work every day. And beginning this summer, Talk Saves Lives training will become a required part of onboarding for all U.S.-based project new hires and subcontractor personnel. Because mental well-being belongs on every jobsite — and creating a culture where people feel supported enough to speak up can save lives. We asked several of our new facilitators what this training meant to them. Here’s what they had to say. 👇

The next chapter at Sabine Pass is moving forward — and Bechtel is building it. 🏗️ Bechtel has received Limited Notice to Proceed from Cheniere Energy, Inc. for Train 7 at the Sabine Pass Liquefaction (SPL) Expansion Project in Southwest Louisiana, advancing one of the next major expansions of U.S. LNG export capacity. The milestone marks the latest chapter in Bechtel and Cheniere’s nearly two-decade partnership — one that helped establish the United States as a global LNG leader. In the last 10 years alone, our teams have delivered six liquefaction trains at Sabine Pass, adding ~30 MTPA of export capacity ahead of schedule, within budget, and safely through challenging weather conditions. Train 7 keeps that legacy going. 🗣️ Paul Marsden, President of Bechtel’s Energy business, reflected on the significance of this milestone: “Sabine Pass helped establish the United States as a global LNG leader ten years ago, and today’s milestone demonstrates how that leadership continues to evolve. Over the last decade, Bechtel and Cheniere have shown what is possible when world-class execution meets long-term vision — delivering complex infrastructure safely, predictably, and at scale. Train 7 represents the next chapter in a partnership that has helped reshape global energy markets.” With 22 liquefaction trains under construction across five sites in two countries, Bechtel is the world’s leading LNG EPC contractor. When complete, these projects will produce ~90 million tonnes of LNG annually (roughly 60% of today’s U.S. LNG export capacity) — reinforcing Bechtel’s role in strengthening America’s energy infrastructure and helping meet growing global energy demand. Congratulations, team! Let's get building. 👏 Learn more ⬇️

Earlier this week, we asked you which iconic American infrastructure projects Bechtel helped build or restore — and the answer might surprise you. 🏗️ It's all of the above. Here's the story behind each project: 🏔️ The Hoover Dam (1936): As part of Six Companies Inc., Bechtel helped deliver what was then the world's tallest dam — completed two years ahead of schedule and still generating electricity for 1.3 million people today. 🚇 World Trade Center PATH Station Restoration (2003): After September 11th, Bechtel was the construction manager for the nearby PATH Station and reestablished critical transit links to and from New York City within 24 months — delivering the project ahead of schedule. 🌉 Tacoma Narrows Bridge (2007): Bechtel was part of the team that delivered the longest U.S. suspension bridge built in four decades, spanning Puget Sound and built to last. And here are two bonus fun facts: ⬇️ 🚇 Dulles Metrorail Extension (2014): One of the largest construction projects in the U.S. at the time, connecting the D.C. region to Northern Virginia’s key economic hubs — and our chairman & CEO Brendan Bechtel served as deputy project superintendent in 2010. Built by a Bechtel-led team, Phase 1 of the project included five stations and six miles of elevated track. ☀️ Right now, in northern Indiana, Bechtel is building Mammoth Solar — one of the largest solar facilities in the U.S. — expected to power approximately 200,000 homes. At peak, the project created 1,200 jobs. The infrastructure that Americans depend on every day didn't happen by accident — and Bechtel has been helping build it for 128 years. This is U.S. #InfrastructureWeek. The work continues.

Bechtel built its first project in 1898 with a pickaxe and a ledger book. Today, we're piloting autonomous excavators and dozers. That's not a leap. It's the throughline of how we've always built: combining the best tools available with the expertise needed to take on the world's greatest challenges. John Platt, Bechtel's SVP of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Transformation, sat down with Global Construction Review to discuss how Bechtel is integrating AI, robotics, and digital tools into live project environments — and what it actually takes to scale them across our global portfolio. He shared: “We can combine a century of Bechtel data and proven processes with some of the most powerful technologies our industry has ever seen — and apply them at enterprise scale." 💡One thing John makes clear: the technology is not the hard part. Identifying where it creates the most value for customers, building the organizational culture around it, and making sure productivity gains are felt on the jobsite — that's the work we’re focused on. And we're already feeling the impact. Our AI-enabled project controls suite is helping automate reporting and accelerate schedule development, giving teams earlier visibility into potential issues before rework becomes necessary. Bechtel has always evolved to meet the needs of the moment — from pioneering advanced concrete placement techniques, to adopting computer-aided design, to some of our earliest experiments with AI in the 1990s. Each time, we’ve moved our company — and the world — forward. And we're ready for what's next.

#InfrastructureWeek trivia time! 🏗️ From coast to coast, Bechtel has helped build the infrastructure that defines American life. But how well do you know our U.S. legacy?

100,000 gallons of Hanford waste — stored in underground tanks since World War II — has been made into glass for safe storage. 🎉That's the milestone we reached at the Hanford Vit Plant this week, where our Bechtel-led team is running one of the most complex environmental cleanup missions on Earth. Through vitrification, the waste is heated to more than 2,100°F and mixed with other materials, transforming decades-old radioactive material into stable glass sealed inside stainless steel containers, permanently — and safely removing it from the environment. As the Hanford Site sits just miles from the Columbia River, every gallon vitrified is one less gallon posing an environmental risk to the river and the local communities that depend on it. 🗣️ As Brian Hartman, WTP Project Director, put it: "Each gallon of immobilized waste brings us closer to a cleaner, safer environment and revitalized community." Since October 2025, our team has been operating the plant in extended hot commissioning, running two 300-ton melters. This milestone is the result of years of engineering, persistence, and a workforce tackling a mission that's been decades in the making. Congratulations to the entire WTP team. You're turning the nation's most challenging cleanup effort into real, permanent progress — one gallon at a time. 👏

⚛️ Energy independence isn’t built overnight — and it isn’t built alone. Poland’s first nuclear program reflects a long-term, strategic partnership between Poland and the United States — combining proven U.S. nuclear expertise with Poland’s vision to strengthen energy security, industrial capability, and economic resilience for generations. Together with Westinghouse Electric Company and Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe, Bechtel Corporation is delivering more than new nuclear power generation. We’re building the foundation of an entirely new industry in Poland — prioritizing localization by investing in local suppliers and developing local talent, setting up the workforce for years to come. 💡 In a new blog post, Dena Volovar, President of Bechtel’s Nuclear, Security & Environmental business and Dan Lipman, President of Westinghouse’s Global Business Initiatives, explore how the Poland–U.S. partnership is emerging as a model for strategic localization and the future of nuclear development. They shared: "What we are building in Poland is far more than the nation's first nuclear plant. It is the foundation of a new industry." Check it out: ⬇️ Let's catch up: Last week’s Poland Trade Mission highlighted the importance of that effort, bringing together more than 25 Polish supplier CEOs to D.C. to meet with U.S. government leaders, industry partners, and our teams at Bechtel and Westinghouse. These companies will help form the backbone of Poland’s emerging nuclear industry — creating new opportunities for Polish businesses to participate in nuclear construction and the growing global supply chain. This is what long-term energy security looks like: trusted allies working together to deliver reliable power, stronger domestic capability, and lasting economic opportunity.
