As you drive along Vail Pass, you’ll likely notice a significant addition to the mountainside – a massive new retaining wall. This is a crucial component of the ongoing I-70 West Vail Project in Colorado, designed to enhance safety and hold back landslides. The idea for the wall was developed back in the 1970s but couldn’t be completed during initial construction because of technology limitations. With advancements in mountain infrastructure, the new wall, which is 40 feet tall and 1,100 feet long, allows for a wider and safer interstate curve. The wall’s construction includes using soil nail, shotcrete and colored concrete sprayed on a wire netting. Attached to 30-to-50-foot nails is the wire netting and it’s drilled into the side of the hill. There are also 29 new drains to limit water in the soils, which can be a cause for landslides. This is just one piece of the I-70 West Vail Project. Crews are currently working on the eastbound bridge reconstruction near Mile Point 185. Construction will continue through 2026.

Here are some cool shots of the foundation work our team is doing on the Union Station Enhancement Project in Toronto. Some of the work in these photos includes our crews executing a critical lift operation at Union Station — placing a 19-metre reinforced rebar into one of the secant wall king piles adjacent to live tracks and public roadways — and a critical tieback operation to stabilize secant walls. This project will transform Greater Toronto's transportation network by providing two new train platforms, a new passenger concourse, reconstructing existing platforms to permit higher speeds and pedestrian walkways and adding more stairs and elevators.

Nebraska Women in STEM talked to Kiewit Project Executive Anayeli M. about finding her career in construction engineering and inspiring the next generation of engineers.  https://lnkd.in/gXfVn-us #womeninstem #womeninengineering

Congratulations to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant’s (WIPP) Safety Significant Confinement Ventilation System (SSCVS) Project team for a job done well. TIC - The Industrial Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kiewit, recently completed on-time construction of the SSCVS at the Department of Energy’s WIPP. TIC is a SSCVS subcontractor at WIPP. The WIPP site is a deep geological repository for transuranic (TRU) nuclear waste generated in support of our national defense by other DOE sites around the country. WIPP site operations mine an ancient salt formation 2,150 feet below the surface to create storage areas for TRU waste containers. The new SSCVS will significantly enhance airflow quality in the underground areas with a new high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) ventilation system, enabling simultaneous mining, waste placement and mining operations. TIC’s established NQA-1 quality program and realigned efforts with major vendors, following their bid-build project recovery assignment, quickly mobilized self-perform craft and equipment to mitigate project delays. They effectively applied resources in the remote yet competitive labor market of New Mexico.

This is what early construction of a 1,450-megawatt power plant looks like! Kiewit is working around the clock to complete the Cumberland Combined Cycle Plant in Tennessee by 2026. This exciting project will help meet energy needs across the region.

Happy Labor/Labour Day to our team. Thank you all for helping make Kiewit one of the best contracting organizations on Earth. Have a safe and happy holiday.

Kiewit is excited to have been selected to deliver design and construction services as part of a progressive design-build contract to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge. We look forward to partnering with the Maryland Transportation Authority, many local subcontractors and suppliers, and our strong craft workforce to safely deliver and restore this vital transportation link in the city of Baltimore and the greater region.

From a young age, Sina Anesteh knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. "As a child, I was captivated by bridges and railroads. As I grew older, this interest, my passion for mathematics and physics and my parents' attention to this fact inspired me to be a civil engineer. I could apply my skills to solve real-world problems and help create essential rail and transportation infrastructure." Sina began his career nearly five years ago as an intern with Kiewit's infrastructure engineering group. After accepting an offer to join us full-time, he started as a track design engineer. Since then, he's worked on multiple transit and freight rail projects and completed field rotations in Denver and Seattle. "By helping in design and later being in the field helping build these projects, I’ve had the opportunity to diversify my knowledge and better understand how we do business as a company." Recently, Sina was selected as Kiewit's representative in the American Public Transportation Association Emerging Leaders Program. This program helps leaders in the transportation section expand their industry knowledge and provides tools to help with career advancement. "This program will help me understand what agencies value the most in the engineering and construction of a project, how all stakeholders work together, how to become an impactful leader in my company, and how to properly train and develop my direct reports in the near future. I truly believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Congratulations, Sina!
