Featured project
industrial strength
The Royal Commission for Yanbu and Jubail has chosen Bechtel to manage development of a second industrial city in northern Saudi Arabia. Ras Al Khair (formerly Ras Az Zawr) Minerals Industrial City will be built from the ground up in a 16-square-mile (42-square-kilometer) area on the coast of the Persian Gulf. It will be about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of Jubail Industrial City—Bechtel’s longest-running project, which began 35 years ago.
australia—Liquefied natural gas
Bechtel has signed a contract to provide engineering, procurement, and construction of a $16 billion liquefied natural gas processing plant in Queensland, Australia. The Gladstone LNG (GLNG) project will feature two liquefaction trains with a combined capacity of 7.8 million tons of LNG per year. The project, which will create up to 6,000 jobs, is owned by a partnership of Santos, Petronas, Total, and Kogas.
peru—copper concentrator
A $4.2 billion greenfield copper concentrator project high in the Peruvian Andes will be the second project that Bechtel will execute under its alliance with Xstrata. The Las Bambas project centers on a 154,324-ton- (140,000-metric-ton-) per-day copper concentrator that will incorporate a crushing, grinding, and flotation process for treating ore from three open-pit mines. In addition, Bechtel will support Xstrata with the development of a new town for 2,400 local people who have agreed to relocate from the project site.
UK—Gatwick Airport expansion
Bechtel will help oversee a $1.5 billion capital investment program at London's Gatwick Airport. Work will include the expansion of the airport's two passenger terminals and improvements to its airfield. Located 28 miles (45 kilometers) south of central London, Gatwick is the city's second largest international airport.
USA—LNG LIQUEFACTION PLANT
Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., announced it will work with Bechtel on the design and construction of a liquefied natural gas liquefaction facility. The new plant will be located at Cheniere's Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal in Louisiana, which Bechtel designed and built. Like other LNG processing plants Bechtel has built in recent years in Australia, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, and Trinidad, the new project will use ConocoPhillips' Optimized Casecade liquefaction technology.
