The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded three Bechtel-affiliated sites all twelve of the agency’s Sustainability Awards for 2016. The Y-12 National Security Complex, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were recognized for helping aid the department in meeting its goals through innovation and excellence in environmental sustainability.

Teams and individuals received the following awards: 

“The developments in sustainability ensure long-term mission success while also providing benefits for surrounding communities,” said Craig Albert, president of Bechtel’s Nuclear, Security & Environmental business unit.  “That Bechtel-affiliated facilities won in all categories is a testament to the outstanding efforts of our teammates and employees at these sites. Congratulations to all the teams for helping make the world cleaner and safer.”

The sites are all part of the NNSA’s enterprise of facilities that carry out the agency’s mission of ensuring the safety and effectiveness of U.S. nuclear defense. They support the downsizing of the nation’s nuclear stockpile by conducting cutting-edge research related to physics, chemistry, supercomputing, advanced materials, and global security. NNSA is a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy.

Bechtel teams with leading companies and organizations such as the University of California, AECOM, BWXT, Lockheed Martin, OrbitalATK, and Battelle Memorial institute for the management and operations of the labs and complex. 

Sustainability is a key focus of Bechtel’s dedication to delivering world-class projects while improving the quality of life in the communities where the company works. From research, to design and construction, purchasing decisions, and office procedures, Bechtel’s sustainability practices span multiple areas.
