Projects
Bechtel has been selected by Micron as the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) partner for the first phase of its $100 billion leading-edge memory manufacturing complex at White Pine Commerce Park in Onondaga County, New York. With up to four fabrication facilities planned, the campus will be the largest semiconductor facility in the United States and a cornerstone of domestic memory chip production.
Advanced memory chips are a critical foundation for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and other data-intensive technologies. As demand for AI-enabled applications continues to grow, projects like Micron’s New York campus are helping expand domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity and strengthen the resilience of America’s technology supply chain.

Today, we’re hiring the people who will make it happen. Over the next year, Bechtel will hire hundreds of professionals across a wide range of disciplines. Ready to leave your mark on one of the country’s most significant projects? Join us.
Following the groundbreaking of the first New York fab in January 2026, the project is advancing into its next phase of construction with Bechtel as EPC partner. At full scale, the project is planned to include approximately 2.4 million square feet of cleanroom space across four fabrication facilities.
For the first phase of development, Bechtel is delivering EPC services for the initial fabrication facility and the critical infrastructure required to power and operate the site. This includes a central utility building, process support systems, hazardous materials systems, wastewater treatment, probe facilities, equipment yards, and the above- and below-ground utility and trestle network that connects and powers the campus.
Semiconductor fabrication facilities are among the most technically demanding industrial projects in the world. They require precision construction across cleanroom systems, ultra-high-purity process infrastructure, advanced electrical and mechanical systems, vibration-sensitive foundations, and tightly controlled manufacturing environments.
Bechtel’s integrated EPC delivery model combines engineering, procurement, advanced digital-enabled construction technologies, modularization strategies, and sophisticated project controls to support schedule confidence, workforce coordination, and operational readiness from day one.
On a project of this scale, execution predictability and speed to market are both critical. Bechtel’s proven modular delivery approach compresses schedules, improves safety and quality, reduces onsite labor peaks, and supports more efficient installation and startup.
At peak construction, the project will support thousands of skilled craft professionals and create opportunities for union trades, apprentices, local training program graduates, specialty contractors, suppliers, and construction professionals across the state.
As construction progresses, the project team will work with local businesses, suppliers, workforce development organizations, and trade partners to help strengthen the regional supply chain and skilled labor ecosystem needed to support semiconductor manufacturing at scale.
Bechtel brings more than 85 years of experience in New York State to this project. Since the 1940s, we have delivered more than 330 projects across infrastructure, energy, transportation, and industrial sectors.
We’ve worked on some of the state’s most complex infrastructure projects, including restoration of the World Trade Center PATH station, modernization of Penn Station, and delivery of John F. Kennedy International Airport’s AirTrain automated light rail system.
Through these and other projects, we have built longstanding relationships with regional trade unions, construction partners, and a network of more than 200 New York-based suppliers, while developing extensive expertise navigating the state’s complex permitting and regulatory environment.
That regional experience, combined with our global EPC expertise, will help Bechtel and Micron deliver a world-class semiconductor manufacturing campus that strengthens domestic memory chip production and America’s semiconductor supply chain.
