U.S. National Laboratories

Bechtel partnerships manage and operate two premier national laboratories for the U.S. government.

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)
BNI brings extensive experience in managing megaprojects and complex facilities to Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Located in Los Alamos, New Mexico, LANL is managed and operated by Los Alamos National Security (LANS), a partnership led by BNI and University of California, for the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. LANL is responsible for monitoring the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, conducting research into new defense programs, and is a center for research in a wide range of scientific disciplines, including space exploration, geophysics, supercomputing, medicine, and nanotechnology. The Bechtel/UC-led team took over management of the laboratory in June 2006.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)
BNI brings world-class project and business management experience and practices to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), in Livermore, California. LLNL is managed and operated by Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), a team led by BNI and the University of California, for Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration. One of the premier national laboratories, LLNL focuses on nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship, technology development in support of national security, high-performance computer simulation, and materials and energy research. The BNI/UC-led team assumed management of LLNL in October 2007.
