Bechtel today announced that four national security sites the company manages and operates with industry and university teammates have earned a total of 12 U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration Sustainability Awards for 2014. These awards acknowledge superior performance in sustainability by improving the management of water, energy, vehicle fleet, pollution, waste, and greenhouse gases.
The four sites received the following awards:
“These advances and innovations in sustainability help ensure the long term success of the projects, which are critical to the surrounding communities, the nation, and the environment,” said Craig Albert, president of Bechtel’s government services business. “This is not possible without the outstanding efforts of our teammates and the more than 15,000 employees at these sites. Congratulations to all of the teams for their dedication and commitment to a sustainable world.”
Bechtel’s teammates at the labs and plants include leading companies and organizations such as the University of California, URS, Babcock & Wilcox, Lockheed Martin, ATK, and Battelle Memorial institute.
The sites are all part of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s nuclear security enterprise of facilities that carry out the agency’s mission of ensuring the safety and effectiveness of U.S. nuclear defense. The four sites support the downsizing of the nation’s nuclear stockpile by conducting cutting-edge research related to energy, chemistry, supercomputing, health, and global security—among many other fields.
