Kiewit

As the leaves begin to change, here are some of our favorite fall views from across our projects. 🍂

As America’s needs evolved, so did we. For 142 years, Kiewit has grown alongside the nation, taking on challenges, entering new markets and building what was needed next. That history includes supporting national defense efforts during World War II and delivering infrastructure through generations of change. As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, we’re proud to reflect on the role our people and projects have played throughout more than half of that history.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. This month, Kiewit is keeping mental health front and center in our offices and on our jobsites across North America. Through our Under the Hat: Building Healthy Minds program and industry initiatives like Hard Hat Courage, Kiewit is working to raise awareness and provide resources that help our people and their families get the help they need. Kiewit is also joining fellow members of the Canadian Construction Safety Council to support “Looking Out For Each Other,” an industry-wide campaign focused on mental health awareness and suicide prevention. The campaign aims to reduce stigma and emphasize the importance of mental health across the construction industry. 📸 Pictured: Kiewit employees wearing teal and purple in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day.

Momentum behind nuclear is growing, but moving projects from planning to execution today will require more efficient integration across engineering, procurement and construction than ever before. Kiewit Nuclear Solutions Co. President Mike Rinehart recently spoke with Construction Dive about the challenges shaping nuclear construction today, from workforce and supply chain constraints to the importance of disciplined EPC execution and risk management.
