Bechtel announced the opening of the company’s Welding and Applied Technology Center. The facility, focused on industry welding innovation and training. The full-scale testing and construction center houses Bechtel technical and subject matter experts all focused on accelerating technology advances in the construction industry, providing enhanced training for welding and construction colleagues as well as nurturing closer-collaboration between customers and partners. The WATC also offers hands-on virtual training and augmented reality simulations, thus allowing Bechtel colleagues to perform on-the-job training in a safe and controlled environment as opposed to at a project site.
Located in the Houston Energy Corridor, home to many of the largest energy companies in the world, the WATC is in close proximity to several of Bechtel’s energy partners.
Bechtel maintains a large workforce in Houston, primarily through the presence of its global Oil, Gas & Chemicals business, which is headquartered in the city.
