Seven decades in the U.K.

Bechtel has spent seven decades building some of the U.K.’s most iconic projects, from the Elizabeth LineChannel Tunnel, West Coast Main Line to the London City and Gatwick airport expansions to the Great Yarmouth Power Station.

As we look ahead to the next seven decades, Bechtel is helping the U.K. tackle some of its biggest challenges:

  • We are supporting world-class projects that will turbocharge a truly global nation, accelerating progress, expanding access and opportunity, protecting people and the planet, and building a path to net zero.
  • We are finding innovative ways to deliver the best solutions to engineering and construction problems in rail, aviation, power, energy, defense, and digital infrastructure for our U.K. customers.
  • We have partnered with the local supply chain to export billions of pounds worth of U.K. goods and services on our projects around the world.
  • In 2022, we supported a report by the Northern Policy Foundation on how to improve U.K. infrastructure delivery.

As one of our global headquarters, our London office remains fundamental to our work across the U.K., Ireland, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Its reach is essential to supporting customers delivering projects that are accelerating progress by building the path to net zero, protecting people and the planet, and creating access and opportunity worldwide.

The U.K. has a set a target to cut carbon emissions and become net zero by 2050. We’re helping them achieve their goal with clean energy solutions from innovative floating offshore wind with Hexicon to carbon-free nuclear energy at Horizon’s Wylfa Newydd power plant. We've also partnered with Drax, the U.K.'s largest decarbonzing project, to identify opportunities for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage plants around the world.
