Bechtel in Australia For more than a century Bechtel has been lead contractor on many high profile construction projects around the world with Australia being no exception. To support these construction projects, Bechtel's in house equipment division, Bechtel Equipment Services (BES), organises the mobilisation and utilisation of a wide array of equipment required to finish projects within time and budget constraints. Its own large fleet of equipment ranges across the full construction spectrum; from earthmoving equipment to elevated work platforms, extending into a wide range of cranes. The largest capacity crane in the BES fleet is a year 2000 model Terex Demag CC 2800-1 lattice boom crawler crane.
