Nuclear
According to Bechtel's website:
- Since the earliest commercial nuclear reactors a half-century ago, Bechtel has played a pivotal role in every phase of the industry’s development. We have designed and/or built more than half of the nuclear power plants in the United States, and we currently provide operating services to many of those plants and others as well. Bechtel offers a complete selection of services, including plant recovery support, plant license renewal, steam generator replacement, and new nuclear generation.

Aside from its work in other sectors Bechtel is fast gaining an unwanted reputation in its water operation as an inefficient supplier of water. In Ecuador Bechtel stands accussed of increasing bills whilst failing to fulfill the promises it makes to win the intial contract granted in 2002.[6]
