Execution Excellence for Commercial Nuclear Solutions
Kiewit is at the forefront of the advanced nuclear sector, offering unparalleled expertise in delivering both large-scale nuclear reactors and small modular reactors (SMRs) with a focus on cost and schedule certainty. Backed by 140 years of construction and engineering experience, Kiewit’s commitment to excellence ensures the successful execution of complex nuclear projects.
Integrated Project Delivery for Predictable Outcomes
Our approach emphasizes early contractor involvement (ECI) — backed by our industry leading self-perform capabilities — to identify and mitigate potential constructability issues before they impact cost and schedule. By integrating engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, Kiewit establishes cohesive teams from project inception through commissioning, enabling transparent communication and fully integrated schedules. This methodology has helped Kiewit consistently deliver successful projects for our clients, even under the most challenging conditions.
Kiewit’s comprehensive services, from early project development to full-scale execution, combined with our commitment to cost and schedule certainty, allow us to be a trusted partner for our clients in the advanced nuclear industry and beyond.
Small Modular Reactors
Advanced small modular reactors (SMRs) are a key part of the transition to safe carbon-free, affordable power generation. Backed by 140 years of construction and engineering expertise, Kiewit brings NQA-1 solutions — across the entire project lifecycle — to safely deliver SMR projects with quality and predictability.
Through early contractor involvement (ECI) with many of the SMR original equipment manufacturer (OEM) providers on constructability insights, Kiewit applies construction means and methods, best practices and knowledge transfer from other SMR projects to optimize costs and schedule. This includes utility assistance with SMR construction planning and pricing, among front-end engineering design (FEED) and detailed engineering, estimating and turnkey construction solutions.
