The Oculus at World Trade Center Transportation Hub New York, New York

We erected 12,500 tons of Italian-fabricated steel to create this dramatic entrance to the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, designed by renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. The components – weighing up to 85 tons – needed to be erected to tolerances as tight as one-eighth of an inch, and some of the welds are four inches thick.

Earning your trust is something we work hard at every day. Above

all else, that is the foundation for a true partnership. Our dedication

to you starts with the team we handpick for each project, and the

commitment each team member makes to achieve your goals. It

continues with the tremendous resources we provide our teams,

including knowledge and capabilities shared across market sectors

and across countries. And it’s supported by Skanska’s industry-

leading values in safety, sustainability, ethics, and diversity and

inclusion.

This is an approach that works, as we consistently deliver projects

that achieve clients’ goals.

Even with our size and global resources, Skanska focuses on

projects of all sizes and complexities. Whether you have a

million dollar interior renovation or a billion dollar public-private

partnership bridge, we have the expertise to successfully complete

both, and both are critical to our success. But more importantly, we

never lose sight of your project being critical to your success.

While projects can be complex, our values are easy to understand. At Skanska, guiding our decision making every

day – and on every project – are our Five Zeros, values expressed as qualitative targets.

How we work

Five Zeros

Zero accidents We value people’s safety and well-being. Zero ethical breaches We value honesty and integrity, and are committed to doing what’s right. Zero environmental incidents We value our environment and care about how we affect it.

Zero defects We value performance excellence and quality. Zero loss-making projects We value financial success: not just for ourselves, but also for our clients and other project partners.

Our Injury-Free Environment®We’re striving to achieve zero accidents

through our Injury-Free Environment (IFE®)

initiative, which we launched in 2003. IFE

is a belief – shared by Skanska as a whole

and all our people individually – that

safety is a value not to be compromised

by cost or schedule considerations. With

our IFE culture, everyone on our projects

is responsible to be personally involved in

preventing harm to themselves and those

around them. Beyond it being the right

thing to do, our having safe jobsites benefits

you by allowing for reduced insurance costs

and protecting your good name. Injury-Free Environment ®

Stone34 Seattle, Washington

We conceived, financed, developed and then constructed this highly sustainable and community-oriented headquarters for Brooks Sports, the running shoe and apparel company. Brooks CEO Jim Weber said of Skanska: “I have been thinking about how to describe the space you created, but doing so is hard as the end result is somewhat beyond words. Thank you for delivering such an amazing home for our brand.”

Helping you achieve green goalsAs part of Skanska’s larger sustainability agenda, green construction

plays an important role in ensuring that buildings and infrastructure

– and those who use them – can thrive for generations. We continue

to build on our LEED® expertise to support you no matter what green

goal you have: perhaps it is attaining certification under the LEED

version 4, Living Building Challenge, WELL or Envision standards, or

otherwise achieving net zero energy, waste and water targets.

Our experts will guide you through every step of the green decision-

making process. We’ll help you achieve the first cost and the life

cycle cost that are best for you. And we’ll do so through practical

suggestions that balance environmental and budgetary goals.

Council’s Leadership Award.

Reflecting and supporting local communitiesWe go to great lengths to reflect and engage with the diverse

communities in which we operate. For instance, we hold an annual

Diversity & Inclusion Week to reinforce the critical nature of this topic

to our employees and project partners nationwide. Also, our Skanska

Women’s Network supports the professional development of all

employees, and is active in cities across the U.S. A diverse and inclusive

workforce helps us provide you with the best solutions.

Similarly, we take great pride in being part of our local communities.

This includes providing construction management training to local

small businesses through two programs: Construction Management

Building Blocks and Building with the Objective to provide

Opportunity through Sustainable Training (BOOST). Such efforts

broaden the pool of qualified trade contractors, so we have an even

better selection for your project.

Elizabeth River TunnelsNorfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia

A Skanska-led team is implementing a $2.1 billion public-private partnership (PPP) solution to expand capacity of one of the country’s most heavily traveled two-lane roadways. By combining public and private financing with innovative development and construction approaches, our team will complete construction in phases between 2016 and 2018. This includes the project’s centerpiece, a new tunnel tube below the Elizabeth River. Our consortium is overseeing operations and maintenance of all the works – stretching 51 lane miles – until 2070.

Buildings don’t usually move. But this building does, as its signature feature is 94 operable louver arms that raise and lower via hydraulics each day, tracking the sun to shade the 250-foot-long skylight along the structure’s spine. Said the project’s noted architect, Santiago Calatrava: “Skanska’s commitment to deliver a project of such exceptional quality, on a demanding schedule within the limited budget, all while mentoring a team of local craftsmen, has, in my opinion, solidified your construction team as one of the preeminent builders in the nation.”

What we doBuilding constructionOne of the largest U.S. general builders, Skanska has particular

strengths in the healthcare, aviation, education, commercial,

mission critical, life sciences, and sports and entertainment markets.

In many of these sectors, we have centers of excellence in which we

pool our knowledge from past experience and from our experts to

ensure the smoothest possible delivery of your project. We’re at the

forefront of building construction innovation, with our expertise in

multi-system prefabrication, virtual design and construction (VDC),

lean construction and integrated project delivery (IPD). Additionally,

in select metro areas we can self-perform major parts of work,

should that best meet your needs.

Infrastructure, power and industrial constructionFrom subways to bridges to complexes that treat water,

manufacture goods and produce power, Skanska is one of the

biggest infrastructure, power and industrial builders. We focus

on delivering such projects through design-build, public-private

partnership, engineer-procure-construct and construction

management/general contractor methods, as these allow us to

utilize our significant construction know-how to bring you the

greatest value. We offer particular experience with projects that

exceed $500 million.

Adding greater certainty and reliability to how we deliver these

projects are our 1,000-plus machine heavy equipment fleet, which

ensures that we have the specialty units available and ready

to work when needed; specific virtual design and construction

expertise so your project is designed and planned in the best way

possible; and the capability to self-perform significant portions of

work, giving us direct control over such key project elements as

schedule, quality and safety.

Commercial development Skanska develops customer-focused and highly sustainable

office and multi-family properties in Boston, Houston, Seattle

and Washington, D.C. We approach these development projects

by focusing on the end-user experience and how each project

connects to its neighborhood, all to create high-performing,

flexible workplaces and innovative places to live.

We have invested more than $1 billion in nearly a dozen projects

in those four U.S. markets. We self-finance the majority of these

buildings, enabling us to focus on meeting the needs of such clients

as Brooks Sports, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Tommy Bahama.

Each of our developments aims to achieve a minimum LEED Gold

certification, and we track each project’s carbon footprint to help us

progress on our commitment to sustainability.

Infrastructure development There’s a great need in our country to replace or improve America’s

highways, tunnels, bridges, public buildings, airports, transit lines

and water/wastewater plants. But public funding is limited. For an

increasing number of these projects, the best solution may be a

public-private partnership (PPP), a delivery method that leverages

available public funds with private sector investment to generate

critical infrastructure projects more quickly, efficiently, and with

a focus on the asset’s entire life cycle. Skanska is a global PPP

leader, having delivered 31 such projects in eight countries using

more than $500 million of our own equity investments. We work

openly and honestly with our clients as their long-term partner,

providing financial support and industry-leading expertise for the

development, design, construction and operation of PPP projects.

Nemours Children’s Health SystemOrlando, Florida, and Wilmington, Delaware

Our Nemours partnership started with building the 630,000-square-foot Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando, and continued with the 450,000-square-foot expansion of the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington. Said Nemours Foundation CEO David Bailey: “I have tremendous trust in Skanska, because they deliver on timelines, budget and process every time, even putting the interests of Nemours before their own.”
