The dam raise at the Gross Reservoir Expansion Project is now 95% complete, raising the structure 109 feet above its original height. Placement of roller-compacted concrete paused during the winter months due to below-freezing temperatures, but construction will resume this spring to complete the remaining 22 feet. Once finished, the expanded dam will nearly triple the reservoir’s water storage capacity. During the winter shutdown, crews are focusing on work that can continue safely, including mechanical and pipe installation inside the dam and construction of the stilling basin at its base. When complete, the dam will stand 471 feet tall, 131 feet higher than the original structure, with a crest stretching 2,040 feet from one side to the other.
We're cutting the ribbon on a different kind of site... Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of the all-new Kiewit.com. A full redesign from the ground up, it's built to better reflect who we are, what we do and the impact our teams make across North America. Explore the site at Kiewit.com
We’re taking a look back at the G3 Terminal Vancouver project, a major industrial facility delivered by our team on the north shore of Vancouver’s Burrard Inlet. Construction began in 2017 on this state-of-the-art grain export terminal, the first new grain terminal built at the Port of Vancouver since the 1970s. Today, it plays a critical role in moving Canadian grain and oilseeds to market. Kiewit provided full engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning services. Our scope included 48 concrete grain-storage silos, marine work for the dock and ship-loading facility, conveyance systems and supporting infrastructure. The project placed roughly 90,000 cubic yards of concrete and more than nine million pounds of rebar. Our team self-performed about 80% of the work, accounting for more than one million total work hours.
Crews reached an important milestone on the Francis Scott Key Bridge Rebuild with the completion of the first axial load test at the Pier 24 main span foundation. The team has advanced into the project’s next phase, axial and lateral load testing at each pylon location. The load frame is installed on the test piles, and by applying controlled structural forces, these tests validate the foundation design under real-world loading conditions and support long-term safety and performance. 📸 Key Bridge Rebuild
First snowfall at the Mill Creek Project in Louisville, Kentucky. ❄️ Even the snowman knew to wear a hard hat. We hope everyone is staying safe, warm and enjoying the holiday season with family and friends.
Our communities mean a lot to us. Whether it’s volunteering our time or supporting local causes, giving back is an important part of how we show up in the places where we live and work. As we look back on 2025, we’re grateful for the many ways our teams stepped up to support communities across North America. Thank you to our people across the organization and our subsidiaries for their time, generosity and commitment to making a positive impact beyond the jobsite.
The final beam is in place at the Fircrest Nursing Facility in Shoreline, Washington, where the project team recently celebrated the topping off. This 130,000-square-foot facility is being built with a focus on person-centered care, featuring private rooms, welcoming common areas, therapy spaces and outdoor gardens to support residents and caregivers. For our team, topping off represents more than placing the final beam. It reflects collaboration, progress and a shared commitment to delivering a modern space that will support Washington DSHS’ Fircrest Residential Rehabilitation Center for years to come. Kiewit is serving as the design-builder, with completion scheduled for November 2027. Congratulations to our project team and partners as we continue moving forward safely and thoughtfully on this important community resource.
What an inspiring two days at the Future Women in Kiewit Summit! We were proud to welcome students from across the U.S. and Canada for meaningful conversations about building confidence, taking charge of your development, and exploring what a future in construction and engineering can look like. Thank you to all who joined us — attendees and presenters. Your engagement is what makes this event a success.
Moving a 560,000-pound turbine isn’t easy — especially when it crosses an ocean to get here. Crews on Omaha Public Power District's Turtle Creek Station expansion recently received a Siemens F-Class dual-fuel combustion turbine shipped from Berlin. Roughly the weight of a fully loaded Boeing 787 and about the size of a school bus, the turbine narrowly missed two hurricanes during its transatlantic journey before arriving in Omaha by rail. From there, it was transferred to a heavy-haul truck and trailer nearly half the length of a football field, escorted by local law enforcement for the final five-mile-per-hour stretch to the site. We appreciate the collaboration among OPPD and public agencies who helped make this complex move a success. This is the first of four new turbines and part of 15 major equipment deliveries for the Turtle Creek Station expansion and the nearby Cass County Station project, both of which Kiewit is proud to be constructing for OPPD. Once complete, Turtle Creek will add 225 megawatts of new generation capacity, helping ensure reliable, responsive energy for eastern Nebraska. Target completion is set for the end of 2028. 📸 OPPD
The North Runway Modernization Program at Vancouver International Airport is a full-circle moment for our team. Kiewit first built the original North Runway in 1996 — and nearly three decades later, some of those same employees returned to help modernize it once again. Working through challenging conditions, tight timelines and overnight shifts, the team successfully delivered a new 10,000-foot runway surface and lighting system, all within eight-hour operational windows while the airport remained fully active. Congratulations to our client, our Vancouver project team and all partners involved. Your coordination, collaboration and commitment made this milestone possible while honoring the historical land we worked on. 📸 YVR
