Creating real communities: Travis Air Force Base, US
Our operation at Travis Air Force Base (AFB) in California has been named Private Sector Partner of the Year by the Association of Defense Communities. The award reflects the care we take to provide not just military housing but neighbourhoods with a real sense of community. For example, our LifeWorks programme offers a wide range of activities, builds friendships and enriches lives. It is open to over 100,000 residents in the 44 installations we serve.
"My family and I found that Balfour Beatty really goes that
extra mile to create a community where service members
want to live and raise their families. Their resident-life
programmes give my family a chance to meet other
families and build friendships – and that really helps us
feel welcome here."
Tamara Leon, resident of
Travis AFB Left
"We have really worked hard to embrace the Zero Harm
safety vision here at Travis AFB. The great thing is that
Balfour Beatty employees engage with our residents
on our journey to achieving Zero Harm, which has
strengthened relationships by working towards the
same goal."
Patrick Hoppaugh, Community Manager, Travis AFB Right
