Building a Modern World

The rapid increase in the worldwide population and the rise of urbanization are driving demand for resilient and reliable public infrastructure. The world’s population is projected to increase from some 7 billion today to 9.6 billion by 2050. Meeting this growth requires the equivalent of a new city of 1.5 million people to be built every week for the next 35 years.

Bechtel leads the way in building world-class public infrastructure, ensuring seamless connectivity, facilitating sustainable growth, and creating affordable access to opportunities and services. With a focus on large-scale construction projects ranging from motorways, airports, rail lines, and metro systems to bridges, tunnels, and hydropower, our team combines expertise, innovation, and dedication to deliver projects of exceptional quality and lasting impact.

In addition to helping our customers bring these transformational projects to completion, we place a heavy emphasis on maximizing local content through jobs, the supply chain, and a legacy of skills that continue to provide for local communities long after we leave.  

We understand that infrastructure is more than just steel, concrete, and asphalt; It’s about developing thriving economies, connecting communities, and building for the future. We partner with our customers to improve lives today while preparing them to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.
