Approach
By focusing on how we work, we deliver faster, more cost-effective outcomes, ensuring operational excellence long after a project is handed over.
Few companies have the scale and expertise to handle a project’s full range of needs — from design to dismantlement. But as an engineering, procurement, construction, and project management leader, Bechtel is not only qualified to deliver the entire lifecycle of a project, but to deliver excellence at every stage.
We deploy this horizontal integration strategy to our customers’ advantage. They benefit from our deep knowledge of the project’s needs and our integrated EPC solutions that can be customized to reduce cost and complexity.
We also leverage vertical integration to improve the EPC value chain. By investing in companies that produce critical construction materials or specialize in highly sought after competencies — like pipe and steel fabrication — we can reduce the project delays and logistical setbacks faced by many of our competitors.
Nothing is more important than the safety of our colleagues. We are steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that everyone, everywhere, returns home safely at the end of each day.
To uphold this commitment, we’ve implemented best-in-class Environmental, Safety, and Health (ESH) standards for all employees worldwide. Developed by our safety experts, our ESH program integrates industry-leading, research-backed practices to protect colleagues on the job. Our goal is clear: zero lost time incidents and zero recordable incidents — and we are within reach.
Our commitment to safety extends beyond the physical, addressing mental health with the same rigor we apply to physical safety. We’re taking everything we’ve learned about protecting colleagues on the job and applying it to their mental health.
We believe every on-the-job injury and environmental incident is preventable. Our longstanding commitment to zero incidents has enabled us to steadily reduce recordable and lost time incident rates. Our rates are among the lowest in the industry and significantly outperform the comparable industry benchmarks.
Our safety culture is built on decades of experience developing and implementing the training, equipment, processes, and procedures needed to perform our work responsibly — many of which have helped to define new industry standards.
* Statistics as of 2023
Quality is at the core of our culture. We believe in doing work right the first time, every time, and we instill this value across the company. Our colleagues are accountable for delivering excellence — and we equip them with the programs and training to ensure success.
Our robust quality programs ensure focus on customer requirements and foster continuous improvement by incorporating lessons learned, reducing risk, enhancing performance, and maintaining the highest standards. Through our “systems thinking” approach, we leverage the full potential of our people, processes, and technology, ensuring seamless operational handoffs, strong cross-functional integration, and successful collaboration with customers, partners, suppliers, and subcontractors.
Integrity, honesty, and fairness are at the heart of our operations as a company and as a partner. We are committed to the highest standards of ethical business conduct and seek to work with customers and partners who share our values. Accordingly, we conduct all business transactions properly, fairly, impartially, and ethically, and we work with leading organizations to promote global standards of ethical business conduct.
We approach each project as an opportunity to improve quality of life, and contribute to a safer, cleaner, more prosperous, and equitable world.
We integrate sustainability into every phase of project execution, from design to delivery. By leveraging advanced technologies, sustainable materials, and efficient processes, we reduce environmental impact and optimize resource use. We collaborate closely with our customers, suppliers, and partners to drive shared responsibility, ensuring the well-being of our colleagues, the public, and the planet.
The Low Energy Ejector Desalination System (LEEDS) technology is the centerpiece of a complete process for produced water desalination in oil, gas, and mining operations.
At Bechtel, we don’t just build projects — we build lasting connections in the communities where we live and work. Our teams relocate around the world, becoming active members of the local community, and sharing their time, talents, and resources beyond the scope of their projects.
We take care to ensure Bechtel’s presence is an asset to local economies by prioritizing local hiring, partnering with small businesses, and creating educational and training opportunities for residents. Wherever we go, we establish a deep understanding of the community so we can maximize our impact and give back to the places our projects call home.
Our legacy has never been confined to the structures we create; it’s in the communities we strengthen — and that’s something we’ll always be proud of.
