Bechtel Canada Co.

Economic growth and major industrial projects in Canada
Since 1942, Bechtel Canada Co. and Bechtel Québec Ltée have been instrumental in the development of major industrial projects and the economic growth of Canada.

Bechtel’s presence in Canada began with the construction of the Canol Pipeline in the remote North to provide a secure supply of oil for the war effort. The 2,290-kilometer pipeline would begin 120 km below the Arctic Circle and cross portions of Alaska, the Yukon and other unmapped portions of the Northwest. From that moment on, Bechtel has been a key player in the development of Canada.

With projects such as the TransCanada Pipeline, Churchill Falls and James Bay hydroelectric projects, numerous aluminium smelters, Athabasca Oil Sands development, the Polaris Project and many more, Bechtel has completed more than 800 projects or studies.
