Bechtel helps our customers deliver projects of purpose that create a lasting positive legacy. These are projects that create jobs and grow economies; improve the resiliency of the world's infrastructure; connect communities to resources and opportunity; get us closer to net zero; tackle critical environmental challenges; protect people and the planet; and accelerate progress to make the world a cleaner, greener, safer place.
In southeastern Washington state, Bechtel is designing, constructing, and commissioning the world’s largest radioactive waste treatment plant for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). When complete, the Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant, also known as the Vit Plant, will process and stabilize millions of gallons of radioactive and chemical waste currently stored at the Hanford Site.
Through our team’s diligent efforts, we will help protect the Columbia River and surrounding Rivershore communities from dangerous nuclear waste leftover from World War II and the Cold War plutonium production.
The Columbia River snakes along the Hanford Site with the Hanford Reach being the last free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River remaining in the U.S. This 50-mile stretch of the Columbia is a natural wonder and is designated a National Monument.
