Innovation

Irving Oil Refinery Expansion

One of the keys to Kiewit’s growing success over the last 125 years is the spirit of innovation that our talented people bring to every stage of our construction projects.

Innovation is a process through which an organization creates and transforms new knowledge into useful products, services and processes, leading to value creation for all stake holders. The difference between invention and innovation is that invention is a new product or process whereas innovation is a new value.

At Kiewit, we strive to search out and attack our problems head on, rather than waiting for problems to catch us off guard. Working for Kiewit involves imagining possibilities, questioning, sensing new problems and opportunities, while viewing situations from different perspectives and getting informed through direct experience.

Construction innovations hatch from an accumulation of extensive construction knowledge. Kiewit constructs diverse types of projects throughout North America using a range of contracting services. This diversity gives our people a significant advantage because innovative ideas on one project can be revised and improved on future projects.

In order to remain competitive, our construction teams must continuously look for better ways to design and build our work. By asking our workforce to constantly pursue innovative ideas and vision, we look forward to keeping up with the tradition of innovation with all of Kiewit Energy Canada’s projects and remaining one of the most renowned contractors in the industry.
