ICYMI: Last week, our #Bechtel team was recognized alongside #Crossrail and Transcend at the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) London Awards. 👏 Together, we won the ‘Best Infrastructure Project’ award for the successful delivery of the Elizabeth Line, one of the most complex infrastructure projects ever undertaken in the UK. 🏆🚆 Since its opening in May 2022, the Elizabeth Line has quickly become the UK’s fastest-growing railway, with over 350 million journeys made to date. The railway has unlocked new travel opportunities, supported regeneration across London—including enhanced housing and social mobility—and contributed an estimated £42 billion to the UK economy. Congratulations to everyone who helped make this iconic project possible! The dedication and collaboration of the industry made this railway a reality, ensuring it will continue to keep London moving for generations to come. 🚉 SYSTRA, AECOM, Jacobs, and The Nichols Group

Our Bechtel team recently sponsored an event with the Congressional Nuclear Security Working Group (#CNSWG) in Washington, D.C. to advance the conversation on nuclear security modernization.

14,000 Bechtel colleagues, 50 offices and projects, 11 countries. That's what Monday looked like when thousands of our #Bechtel colleagues stood shoulder to shoulder to reaffirm our commitment to preventing suicides in the construction industry.   This week, Bechtel joined the construction industry as a proud sponsor in recognizing #ConstructionSuicidePreventionWeek, an important time to raise awareness about mental health and the devastating rates of suicide in our field.   At our Reston, Virginia HQ, #Bechtel chairman and CEO Brendan Bechtel reflected: "I can't think of a more pressing problem confronting our industry, and at Bechtel, we're committed to finding solutions. You saw the first step earlier this year when we announced our five-year partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Together, we are going to provide critical suicide prevention resources to people in our industry. We owe it to them, to our colleagues, and to their families to do something about this."   #Bechtel president and COO Craig Albert echoed this sentiment: "I can't emphasize enough the importance of us taking this on. We have to apply to mental health and suicide prevention the same kind of rigor and conviction that we apply to physical safety."   All of us have a role to play and Monday's stand-down was a reminder that a true culture shift is necessary for progress to occur—and we're on our way here at Bechtel. We can encourage openness and have candid discussions about mental health to eliminate stigma. We can learn to recognize the signs of someone at risk. And we can offer support to those struggling by connecting them to resources that can help.   As Brendan shared: "An industry-wide problem demands industry-wide solutions. No one can do this alone, so we're asking other companies to join in our fight." Learn how: https://lnkd.in/gY8ikWhb

☀️ Bringing clean, renewable energy to Calhoun County, Michigan! 🎉 Hecate Energy LLC has selected our #Bechtel team to deliver Sunfish Solar 2, the first project in Hecate’s 1-gigawatt renewable energy development. The Sunfish Solar 2 facility will generate 360 megawatts of clean energy—enough to power 183,500 Michigan homes, and the development will offset nearly 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. That’s the equivalent of removing more than 300,000 passenger vehicles from the road each year. 🌱🚗 “We are proud to support Michigan’s renewable energy goals with this milestone project, and to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future, while also creating high-quality clean energy jobs,” said Scott Austin, Bechtel’s General Manager of Renewables & Clean Power. This new facility, which will be one of the largest solar facilities in the state, plays a key role in supporting Michigan’s goal of producing 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and creating over 350 local construction jobs. 🏗️ And to bring this project to life, Bechtel will utilize its award-winning digital delivery approach to design, construct, and commission the facility, leveraging autonomous technologies to enhance project delivery! This week, while 40,000 energy professionals gather at the #REPlus24 conference in Anaheim, California, we are reminded of the importance of, and Bechtel's commitment to, advancing clean energy and creating sustainable solutions for future generations.
