Bechtel, a global leader in engineering, procurement, and construction, today recognized several companies for excellence in performing nuclear, national security, and environmental cleanup work in 2016.  The four suppliers and subcontractors were honored at Bechtel’s annual Supply Chain Recognition awards event for providing superior performance while helping the company deliver mission excellence for its customers.

“We could not accomplish what we do without our subcontractors and suppliers,” said Barbara Rusinko, president of Bechtel’s Nuclear, Security & Environmental global business unit. “The work is challenging, highly technical, and is often first-of-a-kind.”

Of the more than two dozen nominees, recipients of the top awards are:

Eric Duvekot, a senior project engineer for Porvair’s work on a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration system at the Waste Treatment Plant, said working with Bechtel has been rewarding and has exposed the company to new opportunities in the nuclear industry. “The culture is contagious,” Duvekot said. “We adopted the ideals Bechtel put forth. We were considered co-equals on this project.”
