Technology

State-of-the-art technology for engineering and construction projects worldwide.

Bechtel relies on state-of-the-art technology to deliver engineering and construction projects to our customers. Technology drives our business—it speeds schedules, cuts costs, and ensures quality. Technology enables increasingly complex design work, brings Bechtel’s global offices and personnel together, and maximizes productivity.

For example, we are continually developing information systems to improve our work. These include:

  • Implementing new applications to accelerate information flow among engineering, construction, procurement, and project management activities
  • Applying multiple Web-based procurement and collaboration tools
  • Deploying new networking technologies, such as "virtual companies" that let multiple offices in far-flung places team up to design and manage projects 

See more examples, including capturing carbon, using virtualy reality to tour projects before they're built, and tilting trains to accommodate higher speeds.
