Our mission is to facilitate the transition to clean energy, promote climate adaptation, and foster income-generating activities that create resilient and sustainable communities.
Backed by thousands of Bechtel experts worldwide, renowned for their deep EPC capabilities, BBechtel Construction brings unmatched technical expertise directly to project sites — empowering partners to implement scalable, high-impact solutions.
As technical champions, we uphold world-class standards in quality, durability, safety, resilience, and sustainability, ensuring every project delivers measurable, long-term value. But we go beyond execution — we build local capacity, equipping enterprises and communities with the skills and knowledge to sustain and scale impact, creating investable, resilient markets for the future.
With Bechtel’s proven track record in delivering complex projects in challenging environments, BBechtel Construction is uniquely positioned as a trusted technical partner for impact investors. Our technical advisory and project management expertise de-risk investments, accelerate local enterprise growth, and maximize social impact — ensuring long-term, sustainable outcomes for both communities and investors.
Our approach is built on six key principles that ensure every project delivers lasting, measurable benefits:
We focus on emerging and frontier markets, prioritizing undeserved and underrepresented communities in:
In Sub-Saharan Africa, only one-third of health facilities have access to reliable electricity, limiting essential healthcare services. To address this, BBechtel Construction and its partners launched the Health Electrification and Telecommunications Alliance (HETA) — a collaborative initiative to power thousands of health facilities with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Through HETA, we have:
Delivered clean, reliable solar power to 1,000+ health facilities across multiple countries, including Tanzania, Eswatini, and Nigeria.
Improved healthcare access for over 14 million people by enhancing facility electrification and connectivity.
More than an estimated 2,100 metric tons of CO2e are avoided annually.
In partnership with Caritas Australia, Catholic Church Health Services, and the Australian government, BBechtel Construction is overseeing the installation of off-grid solar energy systems for two remote health clinics in Papua New Guinea. These clinics, located in some of the country’s most isolated and hard-to-reach areas, provide critical medical and maternity services to underserved communities.
Currently, these clinics rely entirely on diesel generators, facing frequent fuel shortages and high costs, which disrupt medical services and jeopardize access to clean water due to diesel-powered water pumps.
Through this initiative, we are:
Lowering electricity costs for rural clinics by transitioning from diesel to solar energy. Enhancing energy reliability, reducing dependence on costly and unpredictable fuel supply chains.
Improving healthcare outcomes, particularly for women and newborns, by securing access to sustainable energy and water.
Building local capacity, ensuring long-term system maintenance and sustainability.
Running through 2025, this project is a scalable model for expanding clean energy solutions to other off-grid medical facilities, ensuring healthcare resilience in remote communities. Once complete, the two clinics will serve roughly 12,000 people.
Food security is essential to community resilience. In Zambia, rising food prices, climate-related disasters, and supply-chain disruptions have severely impacted how communities grow, access, and consume food. In response to post-harvest losses and rising food insecurity — exacerbated by global shocks, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — BBechtel Construction launched an initiative with Empowering Farmers Foundation and AfricaGlobal Schaffer to strengthen local production and trade of maize, soybeans, sunflowers, and groundnuts, which are key ingredients in Zambia’s essential cooking oils.
To achieve this, we are:
Improving the logistics for aggregating and trading centers to boost agricultural output and reduce post-harvest loss across multiple provinces.
Strengthening local food markets, ensuring rural communities have increased access to affordable, locally produced food.
Creating a scalable, replicable model to enhance food resilience across Zambia.
In Fort Kochi, India, BBechtel Construction is partnering with the Kochi Municipal Corporation, Swiss Re Group, and ICLEI South Asia to develop a nature-based solution for flood mitigation, pollution reduction, and canal restoration.
Following a technical assessment of the affected canals, we identified a gravity-fed water treatment system that integrates natural plant species with recycled wastewater to generate clean water. This approach reduces flooding, restores canal ecosystems, and promotes sustainable livelihoods such as shrimp farming and ecotourism.
Together with our partners, we are piloting this technology in a 1.2-mile (2-kilometer) canal, benefiting over 1,000 people. The goal is to demonstrate a scalable, replicable model for city-wide canal restoration in Kochi.
To achieve this, we have:
Engaged 350 households — representing approximately 1,000 community members — to incorporate local input into the project design.
Completed a pre-feasibility study and high-level cost-estimation to assess project viability.
Developed an innovative, nature-based approach by integrating biodiversity, engineering, and actuarial (insurance) disciplines.
Running through 2025, we are advancing work to complete a comprehensive feasibility study, environmental impact assessment, and investment strategy to support implementation.
More than 300,000 Indigenous Peruvians living in the remote Andes Mountains face harsh winters due to “Heladas” — extreme frost events exacerbated by climate change. These conditions contribute to hundreds of respiratory illnesses and fatalities each year, particularly affecting children and older adults.
To address this, BBechtel Construction, in partnership with the Peru Ministry of Housing and the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP), developed a first-of-its-kind thermal energy system that:
Captures, stores, and transfers solar heat to maintain livable indoor temperatures.
Ensures safe and healthy indoor conditions, even when outdoor temperatures drop to -10°C (14°F).
Provides a nation-wide solution to a long-standing climate, health, and safety challenge.
Running through 2025, BBechtel Construction is focused on completing the testing phase and scaling installations in homes across the Andean region, bringing life-changing thermal solutions to thousands of vulnerable families.
