Ports and Marine

Building some of the most innovative and technologically advanced port and marine facilities in the world.

Bechtel has successfully designed, planned, and built more than 80 marine projects across the globe, some 28 of these in the last decade. Among our current projects are Khalifa Port and Kizad in Abu Dhabi and the expansion of Jubail port and industrial zone. Bechtel has proven experience of success on both small and large projects completed in the most challenging conditions.

Our maritime expertise spans early advisory work and feasibility studies, to full program management for all phases of port and harbor projects. With dedicated experts in maritime infrastructure disciplines, we offer a host of services from master planning and technical studies to engineering and procurement, as well as port and terminal traffic simulations.

Drawing on our solid construction background and more than 5,000 construction and construction-management professionals, we focus on working together to get the job done – on time and budget.

Ports and harbors are essential infrastructure components of any region and country. We believe that a clear understanding of network intermodality is vital in designing the right solution. We work closely with our customers and stakeholders to ensure that every maritime terminal delivered – either reconstruction or new-build - meets, or exceeds, their expectations. Environmental, social, financial, and economic elements are also key factors in our planning to ensure that the solution is both sustainable and commercially viable.
