The laboratory is the first major Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant facility to complete systems turnover work.

The Washington State Dept. of Ecology granted permits needed for the Vit Plant's plan to turn waste into vitrified glass and finish building an Effluent Management Facility.

Peak construction at the first new U.S. nuclear plant in 30 years will happen later this year, and the project will need 8,500 workers on site.

First key treatment plant finish nears at long controversial U.S. Hanford nuclear waste complex.

An additional 40 tons of structural steel is sitting on the Dept. of Energy Hanford Nuclear Waste Site in southeast Washington, where Bechtel National Inc. plans a new tower as part of the multi-billion-dollar Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant.

Construction could begin as soon as next year on a 240-mile high-speed rail line between Houston and Dallas if permitting goes smoothly, according to officials.

Large contractors know it can’t last, but right now the market continues to expand, and few firms see any clear signs of a slowdown.

The markets continue to grow, but design firms are concerned about infrastructure funding, tariffs and staff shortages.
