Kiewit

Now open. A new chapter for Omaha. The Omaha Central Library is officially welcoming the community into a 102,000 square-foot space built for learning, connection and creativity. Inside, visitors can explore curated book displays, access more than 100 computers and devices and spend time in a hands-on space featuring 3D printers, a laser cutter, sewing and quilting equipment. The space also includes more than 15 meeting and study rooms. Behind the scenes, a three-story automated system uses robotic arms to retrieve materials from a storage system that can hold 600,000 items. Congratulations to our project team and Omaha Public Library on delivering a space that will serve the community for generations. 📸Credit: Omaha Public Library

A new chapter is here, and this group is already getting to work. Some of our newest apprentices are beginning their journey with foundational training focused on workplace safety, construction math and construction drawings. In the weeks ahead, they’ll dive into power industry fundamentals, electrical circuits and theory, tools of the trade and hands-on learning in the yard. We asked what they want to take from this experience. Their answers were clear: Be the best lineman they can be. Become the go-to on the job. Pass knowledge on to the next generation. After training, they’ll move on to a power delivery project. We’re proud to be part of their journey! #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW2026

It’s National Apprenticeship Week, and we’re proud to celebrate the apprentices building their skills, careers and futures across Kiewit. Across our jobsites, apprentices are learning the work, supporting their crews and gaining the hands-on experience needed to help shape the future of our industry. Join us in recognizing the apprentices who are helping deliver projects today while building what’s next. Your work matters, and we’re glad to have you on of our team.

One of Jesi Neill’s proudest moments wasn’t hitting a milestone. It was hearing a foreman say he would come back and build the project all over again. From intern to project sponsor, Jesi has built her career at Kiewit by staying close to the work and the people building it. That perspective shaped her leadership on the Cheekeye Debris Flow Barrier project, where teams are building infrastructure to help protect communities in British Columbia. For Jesi, the most important takeaway is simple: when people are proud of what they’re building, it shows. Read her full journey from intern to project sponsor at Kiewit: https://bit.ly/4dY12Jz

A look at how we are shaping a more resilient future for our communities. We design and build projects that improve water systems, restore coastlines, advance public transit and deliver dependable energy. Our equipment leaders partner with manufacturers to better understand, test and adopt new technologies that reduce environmental impact and improve safety and productivity of the machines we use to build this work. Employees volunteer their time with community organizations to restore and maintain our natural spaces — on #EarthDay and throughout the year.

In our April issue of Kiewit Connections, we’re highlighting the work shaping our communities and the people behind it.   From nuclear training and large-scale data infrastructure to environmental restoration already making an impact, these stories reflect the scope of what our teams are delivering today.   Plus, a look back at Kiewit in the 1990s.   See what our teams are building across North America.

Not all construction happens in a hard hat. From early planning to project execution, a lot of the work starts right here. Take a look inside some of the spaces where our teams connect, collaborate and help move projects forward.

Kiewit owns and operates one of North America’s largest and most advanced marine fleets. Together with Weeks Marine, Inc., McNally Companies and Healy Tibbitts Builders, Inc., we combine local marine operations with the strength of a North America-wide network. That reach and experience allow us to deliver waterway and nearshore infrastructure projects of every size.

A closer look at a project now operating in Indiana. The Elkhart County Solar Project is officially online. This 100-megawatt facility spans approximately 850 acres and includes nearly 245,000 solar modules on single-axis trackers. It is projected to generate enough energy to power the equivalent of up to 20,000 Indiana homes per year. From planning through commissioning, this project required coordination across teams and disciplines to deliver at scale. These images highlight the scope of the work behind it.

The Fire Island to Montauk Point project was recognized with the Award of Merit in Water/Environment and the Excellence in Safety award at the ENR New York Best Projects Awards. Working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, Weeks Marine, Inc., a subsidiary of Kiewit, strengthened a vulnerable stretch of shoreline protecting the Westhampton and Cupsogue communities. Despite a narrow winter construction window, crews placed more than 1.2 million cubic yards of sand across three beach sections to reduce storm impacts and support long-term coastal resilience. A new bayside feature further enhanced the project by restoring cross-island sediment movement and improving floodplain function, all while protecting wetlands and preserving public access. Thank you to Weeks Marine, USACE New York District, Suffolk County Parks and the many partners, contractors, monitors and surveyors who helped deliver this important work.
