Exciting news from Sydney! The new Sydney Metro City & Southwest line is now officially open. 🎉🚇 As the Delivery Management Partner for the Tunnel and Station Excavation (TSE) Works Package, #Bechtel is proud to have played a role in bringing this landmark project to life. This new line connects Tallawong to Sydenham, offering Sydney’s residents clean, reliable, and fully automated transportation. It not only connects communities across the city but also marks a significant milestone in Australia’s urban transportation history. Building on Bechtel’s nearly 70-year history of delivering complex projects in Australia, we’re excited to continue our partnership on the next phase of this journey with the Sydney Metro West, connecting the Central Business District to Parramatta. Congratulations to Sydney Metro on this monumental achievement!

What is it like to lead a megaproject? 🏗️🏢 Gain insights from industry leaders, including Jacob Mumm, Bechtel’s General Manager for Public Infrastructure, in the latest episode of the Global Construction Review 21CC podcast for The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). Jacob shares lessons from his experience leading large projects for #Bechtel, like the Keeyask hydropower project and the Riyadh Metro. He also highlights how workforce development and creating an intentional culture are key factors to achieving successful outcomes. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/e7nDchzM #ToTheExtraordinary #WeAreBechtel

This summer, we teamed up with NSBE Professionals | National Society of Black Engineers to support their Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK) programs in Houston, DC, and even some virtually! 👷🏽♀️👷🏾♂️ SEEK is a free, three-week summer program for students in grades 3-5, offering a fun and engaging introduction to the world of STEM. For 17 years, Bechtel has partnered with NSBE to foster the next generation of engineers and innovators. Recently, our #Bechtel colleagues were on the ground in Houston and DC helping to judge students’ competitions, watching them compete, pitch, and highlight their new knowledge about engineering. With over 650 Students participating this summer, we're thrilled to be part of a program that provides such an incredible platform for #STEM education. 🌟 At Bechtel, we’re committed to creating a positive legacy in the communities around the world where we live and work. We’re proud to continue this legacy through our support of programs like NSBE SEEK. ⬇️Check out the photos below of future engineers hard at work! 📸✨

The votes are in! Yesterday, we asked you a trivia question about Bechtel's involvement in the Olympics…With over 1,300 votes cast, did you guess it right? Let’s see! ⬇️ Since the 1980s, Bechtel has played a key role developing the infrastructure for 6 Olympic host cities. 🏅 Here’s a look back at some of our key projects: ✈️ Starting with the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, our #Bechtel team expanded the LAX airport, adding two new terminals, more parking, and a second level to the airport access road — all without interrupting normal operations. Bechtel colleagues were part of a committee that transformed 60+ facilities in Southern California into competition sites, training centers, support facilities, and Olympic Villages. 🏟️ In Barcelona in 1992, we helped upgrade venues and infrastructure to set the stage for a memorable Summer Games. From adding a new terminal at the El Prat airport and building a 27-mile beltway around the city, Bechtel helped transform Barcelona for the ’92 Olympics. ❄️ Gearing up for the Nagano 1998 Winter Games, Bechtel provided design, procurement, engineering, and construction services for a $110 million Winter Olympic convention center with our joint venture partner. The 430,000-square-foot complex featured a hotel, meeting spaces, and a press briefing center. ⛷️ Skiing ahead to Salt Late City in 2002, Bechtel helped develop a $1.4 billion budget for the Winter Games, which was the first to include Paralympic athletes. The budget included medical services and security, 600 projects—including the construction of event venues—and 3,000 activities, such as the Olympic Torch relay. 🚇 Fast forward to Athens 2004, we managed the expansion of the city's subway system. Our efforts added a new dimension to Athens’ transportation network, enhancing accessibility and leaving a lasting impact for the city’s future. 🚉 And in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, ahead of the city's first Olympic Games, Bechtel deployed a team to provide project management services in partnership with Brazilian engineering firm, Promon Engenharia, to help open MetrôRio’s new Line 4 – adding ~10 miles of underground rail and six new stations. At #Bechtel, we’re proud to support the Olympics, building on a legacy of transforming cities and connecting communities. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dP7KNK_V

🚆 Full speed ahead! The Sepulveda Transit Corridor project in Los Angeles has successfully completed the PDA Phase 3 design, meeting all deliverables and bringing us closer to a transit solution for Angelenos. This monumental project is set to offer faster, greener travel options for the LA community.   We're particularly excited about the UCLA stop, which is expected to become the biggest hub of ridership, especially near the campus's medical center. Imagine traveling from the San Fernando Valley to the Westside of Los Angeles in just 20 minutes!?👏   Together with our partners, Meridiam and American Triple I, #Bechtel is committed to developing a world-class rail line that connects our community through being active participants in local areas, creating jobs, providing training opportunities, and partnering with local suppliers and businesses. We are driven by the positive impact this project will have on so many lives.   📽️ ⬇ See we what mean: https://lnkd.in/g9mmnEK5

Hydropower is one the oldest and most reliable sources of renewable energy, and Pumped Storage Hydro (PSH) is becoming an increasingly important solution to supporting the energy transition and maintaining grid resilience.    PSH is enabling access to clean, renewable, and independent energy by increasing grid stability and power availability as variable renewables, such as solar and wind, take up a greater percentage of global grids. ➡️ Here's how it works: By taking advantage of excess grid electricity outside of peak demand, water is moved from a source of lower elevation to a higher elevation. Then, during peak demand, the water flows down the same path through a turbine, generating electricity.      For more than 80 years, #Bechtel has been building hydroelectric facilities, including having designed or installed 50 hydro plants and more than 100 dams. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d7EvWwy6     #WithHydropower #PumpedStorage 

This just in: Our partners at Sempra Infrastructure have awarded our #Bechtel team the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project in Port Arthur, Texas!👏🎉   "We are excited for the opportunity to advance our partnership with Sempra Infrastructure on the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project, a vital project that will play a crucial role in meeting the world's increasing need for cleaner and more reliable energy," said Paul Marsden, President of Bechtel Energy. "This partnership positions Bechtel and Sempra Infrastructure to not only deliver a transformative energy infrastructure project but also bring additional significant economic growth and development opportunities to the local community."   This award builds on our ongoing partnership with Sempra Infrastructure. Together, we are also delivering the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project that consists of trains 1 and 2, as well as two LNG storage tanks and associated facilities, which is well underway with expected commercial operation dates for train 1 and train 2 in 2027 and 2028, respectively. And once operating at full capacity, Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 will nearly double the Port Arthur plant's total LNG production capacity to up to 26 million metric tons per annum!   #Bechtel has designed and built about 30% of the world’s LNG capacity. We are proud to help deliver projects that power communities around the world. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gyg9TGdk
