HELPING CUSTOMERS

Infrastructure projects have the power to transform. They create more connected communities, protect people and the environment, reduce carbon emissions, maintain critical safety, and solve some of the world’s greatest challenges. We help our customers deliver these projects so current and future generations can thrive.

Cleaner, greener, safer.

HELPING CUSTOMERS

create access and opportunityOur customers’ goals are clear — find ways to improve the quality of people’s lives, increase resiliency of infrastructure, and ensure access to services and opportunity so no one is left behind.

Broadband access for all To ensure that communities throughout the UK have access to high-speed internet service, CityFibre is upgrading connectivity for up to 8 million homes and businesses by 2025. The project will create up to 10,000 jobs and has the potential to create regional economic growth of £85 billion.

A new futureNEOM, or “new future,” is a bold new model for sustainable living, working, and prospering. The futuristic city along the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia will become home to more than a million people. The project will set new standards for community health, environmental protection, and the productive use of technology.

5G-ready motorwayThe Serbian motorway is a 112-km (70-mile) 5G-ready motorway under development in the West Morava river valley. This project will connect half a million citizens living in the area and link 20,000 small and medium-sized enterprises along the area’s largest traffic corridors.

The next frontierNASA’s Mobile Launcher 2 at Kennedy Space Center will be used for pioneering space missions such as sending the first woman to the moon and astronauts to Mars. These missions will expand our knowledge of the universe and may help us find ways to make life better here on Earth.

21st century travelSydney’s new metro – Australia’s biggest public transport project – promises a world-class, high-tech rail system that will provide a safe, fast, reliable, and connected commute to 40,000 customers per hour as they travel to the commercial business district and farther southwest.

HELPING CUSTOMERS

deliver cleaner energy solutionsOur customers are setting ambitious decarbonization targets. Whether they are looking to increase their renewables portfolio, improve energy efficiency, or decarbonize existing infrastructure, we are proud to support them on this critical journey. 

Zero carbon energyVogtle Units 3 & 4 – the first new nuclear units built in the United States in 30 years – will provide carbon-free electricity to one million Georgia homes and businesses.

Expanding renewable energy Black Rock wind farm will provide clean, renewable energy to West Virginia. This project represents a nearly 15% increase in the state’s wind power and will produce enough energy to power 34,000 homes.

Efficient, affordable energyCricket Valley Energy is a 1,100-megawatt combined-cycle power plant that will provide energy to a million homes in New York state. The project’s approach prioritized safety, minimized noise and visual disturbances to community residents, and created 1,100 local jobs.

A new source for cleaner energyCheniere Energy Inc. loaded the first LNG cargo from the third train at the Corpus Christi LNG export terminal to deliver cleaner energy to countries like Taiwan that are reducing their reliance on coal. This milestone was achieved significantly ahead of the contract schedule.

Clean produced waterBechtel has a patent pending thermal water treatment process called the Low Energy Ejector Desalination System (LEEDS) to treat produced water for reuse at a lower overall cost. The system offers cost-effective conservation of water for mining operations, industrial customers, and oil and gas producers.

HELPING CUSTOMERS

make the world safer Our customers create innovative approaches to lessen threats to citizens and the planet by modernizing infrastructure, protecting water supplies, eliminating environmental hazards, and enhancing defense readiness.

Keeping citizens safeDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant completed the first of four programs to destroy nerve agents. As of January 2021, the facility destroyed 87.1 tons of munitions. In Colorado, the Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant is keeping Americans safe by destroying a stockpile of 380,000 artillery shells containing toxic mustard agent.

Supporting American defense Through its Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent program, the U.S. Air Force is modernizing the nation’s intercontinental ballistic missiles and launch infrastructure. The upgrade will ensure the safety and effectiveness of the systems and will enhance the security of the U.S. and its allies.

Transforming radioactive waste into glassConstruction completion of the Low-Activity Waste facility at the Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant moves the project closer to its mission to safely treat 56 million gallons of radioactive and hazardous waste.

Helping with clean-up efforts at Fukushima DaiichiBechtel continues to support Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) with their cleanup effort at the Fukushima Daiichi site in Japan. Over the past two years, Bechtel has collaborated with TEPCO on a series of

tests to optimize existing water treatment strategies and develop solutions for the treatment of future waste streams as the customer continues to stabilize the site.

HELPING CUSTOMERS

build a better futureOur customers and colleagues are working to solve critical challenges such as decarbonization and water scarcity by enabling the supply of resources needed to make lasting positive change.

Innovative industrial water solutions With more than 40% of the world’s population suffering from water scarcity — and that number is expected to grow — Bechtel can help governments, municipalities, and private industries find innovative ways to get water where it is needed most.  

What can we do for you?

Improving food production As the global population continues to grow, both bio-based and mineral fertilizers offer improved food production. Bechtel’s Phosphate and Industrial Minerals Center of Excellence applies the latest technologies and innovations to help customers access and process the phosphates needed for fertilizers. 

Delivering a critical commodityCopper is essential for the green energy transition. The QB2 mine is one of the world’s largest undeveloped copper resources. Working together with Teck, we are applying innovative productivity methods to deliver this project with the lowest facility cost in Chile.

We are also working with Antofagasta Minerals to expand its Los Pelambres mine and adding an average of 60,000 tonnes of copper a year to the mine’s production over the first 15 years of operation.
