Bechtel is the world's No. 1 choice for engineering, construction, and project management.
Our diverse portfolio encompasses energy, transportation, communications, mining, oil and gas, and government services.

That's because we bring an unmatched combination of knowledge, skill, experience, and customer commitment to every job.
We have had record revenues for the past four years and in 2006 also posted a record for the value of new work that we booked. Engineering News-Record (ENR) has named Bechtel the top U.S. construction contractor for nine straight years. While we work for governments and commecial customers, our projects have helped grow local economies and improve the quality of life for communities and people around the world. Time and again our work has demonstrated that the only limits on human achievement are those that we place on ourselves.
