The Bechtel Difference

Bechtel will help make that a reality as the engineering, procurement, and construction management contractor, while also self-performing certain construction activities.  

Bechtel will manage the construction the 642-acre plant complex with 600,000 square feet of processing plant buildings, administrative buildings, roads, utilities, and associated infrastructure. We will partner with dozens of subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors, many of them in Nevada, to complete the job.

Bechtel will leverage its decades of construction experience in critical mineral mining facilities and its relationships in the global supply chain to help the project apply known technologies in a first-of-a-kind way for the clay ore in the region.

  • The project will recycle more than 85% of the groundwater it uses in the processing plant and, overall, will use about the same amount of water as a typical farm or ranch in the region.

  • Rather than leave an open pit during mining operations, the pit will be re-filled and reclaimed with native vegetation as each section is completed.

  • The plant will generate more than 40% of its own electricity. Excess heat from its on-site production of sulfuric acid will power a steam generator. The rest of the electricity will come from hydropower in the Pacific Northwest.

  • Construction will utilize union labor through a Project Labor Agreement with North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU). The project will create up to 2,000 construction jobs including apprenticeships for trainees who can earn a living wage while learning valuable trade skills. 

  • Lithium Americas has a community benefits agreement with the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Native American tribe, a close neighbor to the project site.
