Expanding port infrastructure remains a priority as Canada invests in strengthening trade capacity and supply chain resilience. A joint venture led by FlatironDragados has been selected as the preferred proponent to deliver the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Landmass and Wharf infrastructure project in Delta, British Columbia.
The TerraMarine joint venture includes FlatironDragados, Aecon, Van Oord and Carlston Construction Group Inc. The consortium will work with the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority on a collaborative progressive design-build project.
The expansion will add a new three-berth marine container terminal, construct a 1,300-meter wharf and widen the existing causeway. Once completed, the project is expected to increase container handling capacity on Canada's West Coast by more than 30%.
The multi-billion-dollar development is also expected to generate thousands of construction and long-term employment opportunities while improving freight movement and supply chain efficiency.
The joint venture is expected to execute a design and early works agreement with the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority during the third quarter of 2026.
Following completion of the collaborative development phase, the parties anticipate signing a design-build contract in early 2028, with overall project completion expected in early 2034.
For owners, marine contractors and heavy civil construction firms, large-scale port expansion projects continue to drive demand for marine construction, dredging, structural concrete, earthworks and transportation infrastructure. Roberts Bank Terminal 2 represents one of Canada's largest planned marine infrastructure investments and supports long-term trade and logistics capacity.
