Creating a Lasting Legacy
In 1898, Warren A. Bechtel left Peabody, Kansas in search of construction work and opportunity out West. It was the first chapter in a history that would go on to span 126 years, 160 countries, and 25,000 projects. What began as a small construction outfit evolved alongside the needs of a growing nation and a rapidly changing world.
While much has changed at Bechtel, the desire to explore new frontiers has remained a driving force. Our history is a history of being first to market, providing proof of concept, and going where no one has.
We built the first nuclear power plant to produce electricity. We constructed the first pipeline under the Arctic. We were one of the first American construction companies to establish a presence in Saudi Arabia. We built the facilities that produced the first U.S. LNG exports in more than 40 years.
We’re one of the only companies in the world to lay railroad track and fiber optic cable; to build shipyards and semiconductor factories; to support NASA’s moonshot in the early 1960s and now, its latest mission to send humans to Mars. And we’re just getting started. Our history is best understood by the incredible projects that have shaped it.
