Our work in Latin America has ranged from mining projects and desalination systems to metro systems and major infrastructure improvements.
Bechtel has been a trusted partner in Latin America for 85 years, driving the region’s growth and economic development.
We have revolutionized the mining industry with world-class solutions that enhance productivity, safety, and sustainability, including the construction of South America’s highest-capacity, single-line copper concentrator in Chile.
Beyond mining, our contributions extend to desalination systems, petrochemical plants, metro systems, and infrastructure for global events like the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics.
Our journey began in Latin America in 1940 with the Mene Grande pipeline in Venezuela. While much has evolved since then, one thing remains constant: our unwavering commitment to innovation and building strong partnerships with local communities to drive lasting economic progress.
