Bechtel's business activities began in 1898, when cattle farmer Warren A. Bechtel moved from Peabody, Kansas, to the Oklahoma Territory to construct railroads with his team of mules.{{cite book |title=Big Dams and Other Dreams: The Six Companies Story |author=Donald E.

In 1906, W. A. Bechtel won his first subcontract to build part of the Oroville-to-Oakland section of the Western Pacific Railroad. That year he bought a steam shovel, becoming a pioneer of the new technology.{{cite news |title=He Built It -- And They Came; Be Diligent: Bechtel's hard work powered his drive to build the frontier |author=Reinhardt Krause |url=http://news.investors.com/management-leaders-in-success/091404-401236-he-built-it-and-they-came-be-diligent-bechtels-hard-work-powered-his-drive-to-build-the-frontier.htm |work=Investor's Business Daily |date=September 14, 2004 |access-date=April 15, 2014}}{{cite news |title=Company, 75, Still Is Family-Owned; Director of Companies Corporate Profile: Family-Owned Bechtel Is a World Builder at the Age of 75 Steamshovel Pioneer |author=Robert Wright |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/10/03/archives/company-75-still-is-familyowned-director-of-companies-corporate.html?ref=bechtelgroup |work=The New York Times |date=October 3, 1973 |access-date=April 14, 2014}} He painted "W.A.

Starting with the construction of Klamath River Highway in California in 1919, Bechtel ventured into jobs other than building railroads. The company built roads, bridges, and highways throughout the western United States. The company worked on its first hydroelectric projects in the 1920s for Pacific Gas and Electric Company in California.{{cite book |author=Jason Henderson |editor=Stanley D.

In January 1931, Bechtel joined other contractors in the west to form Six Companies, Inc., a consortium created to bid for a contract from the U.S. government to construct the Hoover Dam. Six Companies won the bid in March and construction began in the summer of 1931.

Warren Bechtel died unexpectedly in 1933 while in Moscow on business. He was succeeded by his oldest son, Warren A. Bechtel Jr., first, then later Stephen Bechtel Sr., who became both the head of Bechtel and chief executive of the Hoover Dam project. Under his leadership, the Hoover Dam was finished in 1935. The project was the largest of its kind in U.S. history at the time and Bechtel's first megaproject.{{cite news |title=Modern pharaohs |author=Seth Lubove |url=http://business.highbeam.com/392705/article-1G1-54663812/modern-pharaohs |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006083429/http://business.highbeam.com/392705/article-1G1-54663812/modern-pharaohs |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 6, 2014 |work=Forbes |date=May 31, 1999 |access-date=April 15, 2014}}

Bechtel also worked on a pipeline from the Yukon to Alaska called Canol for the United States Department of War during this period.

Under Stephen Bechtel Sr., the company diversified its projects and expanded its work into other countries. The company also focused on turnkey projects, a concept Stephen Bechtel Sr. pioneered, in which Bechtel handled a project from planning and design through construction.{{cite news |title=Stephen D.

In 1949, Bechtel began working with nuclear power after being contracted to build the Experimental Breeder Reactor I in Idaho. The company later built the United States' first privately financed commercial nuclear power plant, the Dresden Generating Station, for Commonwealth Edison in Illinois in 1957.{{cite news |title=Bechtel, New Contractor at Idaho Lab, Has Strong Ties to Nuclear Industry |author=Paul Menser |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-54816190.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150323011713/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-54816190.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 23, 2015 |work=Knight Ridder |date=June 4, 1999 |access-date=April 14, 2014}}{{cite book |title=The Earth Changers |author1=Neill Wilson |author2=Frank Taylor |year=1957 |publisher=Doubleday |page=290 }}

In 1972, Bechtel was involved in approximately 20% of all of the United States' new power-generating capacity. By the end of the decade, the company had moved from nuclear power construction toward nuclear cleanup projects, including Three Mile Island in 1979.

Bechtel completed work on other megaprojects during the 1970s, including major airports in Saudi Arabia and the metro rail in Washington, D.C. In 1976, the company began work on the industrial city of Jubail in Saudi Arabia. The company's multiple construction contracts helped to transform the area from a small village to a city with a population of over a quarter of a million people.

In the 1980s, Bechtel handled the project management of the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.{{cite news |title=Bechtel team arrives to review Games plans |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/600069/Bechtel-team-arrives-to-review-Games-plans.html?pg=all |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006095216/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/600069/Bechtel-team-arrives-to-review-Games-plans.html?pg=all |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 6, 2014 |work=Deseret News |date=December 11, 1997 |access-date=August 21, 2014}} The company also built the Ankara-Gerede Motorway in Turkey as part of the network of roadways linking Europe and Asia in 1986.{{cite news |title=Continuity and change at the family firm |author=Angus Hindley |url=http://w3.nexis.com/new/results/docview/docview.do?docLinkInd=true&risb=21_T19676632708&format=GNBFI&sort=BOOLEAN&startDocNo=1&resultsUrlKey=29_T19676632712&cisb=22_T19676632711&treeMax=true&treeWidth=0&csi=140610&docNo=25 |work=MEED |date=March 20, 1998 |access-date=September 5, 2014 |archive-date=July 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190714041228/http://www.nexis.com/results/docview/docview.do?docLinkInd=true&risb=21_T19676632708&format=GNBFI&sort=BOOLEAN&startDocNo=1&resultsUrlKey=29_T19676632712&cisb=22_T19676632711&treeMax=true&treeWidth=0&csi=140610&docNo=25 |url-status=dead }}

The Albanian Motorway was opened to traffic in 2010 on schedule.{{cite news |title=Romania offers $450m to the contractor who'll finish its road to nowhere |author=David Rogers |url=http://www.globalconreview.com/markets/romania-offers-450m-finish-road-nowhere/ |work=Global Construction Review |date=June 6, 2014 |access-date=August 21, 2014}}{{cite news |title=Highway set to bring Albania and Kosovo closer |author=Benet Koleka |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-albania-kosovo-link-idUSL261003820070628?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0 |work=Reuters |date=June 28, 2007 |access-date=August 21, 2014 |archive-date=October 6, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006065841/http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/06/28/us-albania-kosovo-link-idUSL261003820070628?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0 |url-status=live }}

{{Main|Cochabamba Water War}}

After years of unreliable water supply and 40% water loss in the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia, the World Bank pressured Bolivia to put SEMAPA (the Cochabamba water utility) up for auction without funding. Bechtel and others formed a consortium named "Aguas del Tunari" (Water of Tunari – a local regional term) to file a bid to the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia in 1999. Bechtel was a 27% partner and Abengoa S.A. of Spain was a 25% partner. This bid was in response to the increasing pressure from the World Bank, which had funded and extended water supply projects for the country of Bolivia, to privatize the water utility of Cochabamba. With the strings attached in 1995, and the World Bank participating in draft bids in 1997, the Aguas del Tunari consortium were the only bidders for the auction. The bid was accepted, under pressure of the World Bank and the conditions of their loans to Bolivia. The terms were ratified in the often-cited Law 2029 by the legislative body of Bolivia, however largely it had previously been accepted and influenced by local governments. Under the terms, Bechtel and the consortium immediately raised water pricing 35% and after the first month they had raised the price for water to the residents by almost 60% and in other parts much higher. The Bechtel consortium contract claimed harvesting of rainwater violated its contract essentially monopolizing the supply of water to millions of people.{{Cite web |title=BOLIVIA: Bechtel Drops $50 Million Claim to Settle Bolivian Water Dispute {{!}} corpwatch |url=https://www.corpwatch.org/article/bolivia-bechtel-drops-50-million-claim-settle-bolivian-water-dispute |access-date=September 12, 2022 |website=www.corpwatch.org}}{{Cite web |title=How Bolivians Fought For — and Won — Water Access for All |url=https://www.ucpress.edu/blog/58831/how-bolivians-fought-for-and-won-water-access-for-all/ |access-date=September 12, 2022 |website=UC Press Blog |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=FRONTLINE/WORLD .

Protests were met with a cold shoulder response by Bechtel expressing they would simply cut-off water to those who did not pay. Further protests were enhanced when agricultural sectors realized the bylaws allowed Bechtel and the consortium rights to rain water as well, which was assumed to mean they could no longer collect rain water.World Bank:[http://lnweb90.worldbank.org/oed/oeddoclib.nsf/docunidviewforjavasearch/ee95ee729b8a87cb85256bad0066c3a4/$file/precis_222.pdf Bolivia Water Management: A Tale of Three Cities] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719150002/http://lnweb90.worldbank.org/oed/oeddoclib.nsf/docunidviewforjavasearch/ee95ee729b8a87cb85256bad0066c3a4/$file/precis_222.pdf |date=July 19, 2011}}, Operations Evaluation Department Précis, Spring 2002, Number 222, retrieved on March 19, 2022{{cite news|title=Leasing The Rain|first=William|last=Finnegan |date=April 8, 2002|magazine=The New Yorker|url=http://www.waterobservatory.org/library.cfm?refID=33711 |access-date=February 15, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929151555/http://www.waterobservatory.org/library.cfm?refID=33711 |archive-date=September 29, 2007|url-status=dead}}

Violence between protesters and police resulted in the burning of government buildings and hundreds of injured within the first days of the conflict. The local governments of Manfred Reyes Villa (mayor) and Jose Pepe Orias (prefect or governor) resigned. The contract was ultimately abandoned, for which Bechtel in February 2021 demanded settlement. The aftermath of the violence was destruction of public property in downtown Cochabamba paid for by taxpayers, the death of one civilian, restitution by the government, and hundreds of injured police, military personnel, and protestors. A movie titled Even the Rain with actor Gael García Bernal depicts a historical fiction story set in this time. The conflict became known as the Cochabamba Water War.
