Kiewit on Track for More than $24 Billion in 2018 Project Kickoffs, Completions

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Kiewit Corporation (Omaha, Nebraska), a global provider of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, is involved in more than $45 billion worth of active projects, according to Industrial Info's project database. The projects are almost entirely within North America, and include more than $7.8 billion worth that are expected to begin construction and $16.4 billion worth that are expected to finish construction in 2018.

More than 90% of the total investment value (TIV) for the active projects is attributed to just three industries: Oil & Gas Production, Industrial Manufacturing and Power Generation. The single largest project is in the Oil & Gas Production Industry: Chevron Corporation's (NYSE:CVX) (San Ramon, California) $5.1 billion Big Foot offshore oil and gas production platform in the Gulf of Mexico, which began construction in mid-2011 and is expected to be completed in mid-2018. The facility is expected to produce 75,000 barrels per day (BBL/d) of crude oil and 25 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.

Kiewit also is expected to begin construction in the coming months on Husky Energy Incorporated's (TSX:HSE) (Calgary, Alberta) $2.2 billion offshore West White Rose Project in the Atlantic Ocean. The 75,000-BBL/day platform currently is expected to begin production in 2022. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.

In the Industrial Manufacturing Industry, Kiewit is at work on a slew of light rail projects that will boost commuter service in crowded metropolitan areas. Subsidiary Kiewit Infrastructure Group is performing design-build services for Honolulu Rail Transit's $3.72 billion high-capacity transit corridor (projects I and II) in Honolulu, and the City of Honolulu Transportation Department's $2.72 billion commuter rail system (segment I) in Kapolei. The four-mile Honolulu line will connect the Pearl Highlands commercial area to Aloha Stadium, and will include two stations, while the seven-mile Kapolei line will connect the University of Hawaii at West Oahu, Leeward Community College, Pearl Highlands and other locations, and will include seven stations. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the Honolulu and Kapolei lines.

Kiewit also is part of a consortium that is performing construction-management services for Sound Transit's (Seattle, Washington) $1.5 million extension of the North Corridor rail line in Seattle, Washington, which will run 8.5 miles along the Interstate 5 corridor from Northgate to the Lynnwood Transit Center. Four station are to be included in the project, which is expected to kick off over the summer. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.

All of the nearly $10 billion in active Power Generation projects involving Kiewit are for natural-gas fired facilities. Invenergy Wind North America LLC's (Chicago, Illinois) $1.25 billion Lackawanna Energy Center in Jessup, Pennsylvania, which began construction in mid-2016 and is scheduled to wrap up toward the end of the year. The combined-cycle facility is expected to generate 1,485 megawatts (MW) from three blocks, each of which includes a 330-MW combustion turbine and a 165-MW steam turbine from General Electric (NYSE:GE). For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.

Kiewit is taking part in other combined-cycle projects, such as Tennessee Valley Authority's (NYSE:TVE) (Knoxville, Tennessee) $975 million Thomas H. Allen Power Station in Memphis, Tennessee, which is expected to wrap up this summer and generate 1,000 MW, replacing a coal-fired plant; and Development Partners Group LLC's (White Plains, New York) $700 million St. Joseph Energy Center in New Carlisle, Indiana, which is expected to be completed in the coming months and generate 695 MW. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the Allen and St. Joseph power plants.

Coal-fired plants have been closing at an even faster pace in Canada, where Kiewit is a work on TransCanada Corporation's (NYSE:TRP) (Calgary, Alberta) $1.2 billion Napanee Generating Center in Napanee, Ontario. The combined-cycle plant will use two combustion turbines and a steam turbine to generate 900 MW. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
