The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has shortlisted three qualified construction teams as part of its procurement process for the landmass and wharf component of the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project.
The three shortlisted teams are:
- KLJ Partnership: Kiewit Construction Services ULC, Ledcor CMI Ltd.,Jan de Nulnv
- Pacific Gateway Partners: Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd., Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd.. EllisDon Corporation
- TerraMarine: FlatironDragados Canada, Inc., Van Oord Canada Ltd., Aecon Constructors, Carlson Construction Group Inc.
The teams will now take part in the request for proposal phase, which has a May 2026 deadline for submission.
The shortlisted teams were selected following a thorough review of submissions received under the request for qualifications issued in July 2025, as part of the progressive design-build process. Each team demonstrated their strong record of collaborative, large-scale infrastructure delivery in marine environments with similar technical, logistical, environmental, and regulatory requirements to Roberts Bank Terminal 2, as well as their experience working with First Nations.
The preferred team will be selected in summer 2026 and will partner with the port authority and First Nations to source Canadian products such as aggregates, steel, concrete, and lumber and create family-supporting Canadian jobs like engineers, equipment operators, and environmental monitors.
Roberts Bank Terminal 2 will increase Canada’s west coast container capacity by more than 30 per cent. Components of the project include:
- New land mass and wharf structure that will accommodate 2.4 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) of container capacity annually.
- Widening the existing Roberts Bank causeway for additional road and rail infrastructure.
- Expanding the tug basin to support marine side operations.
- Environmental projects, such as new habitat, construction mitigation programs, and a monitoring follow-up program.
Construction is planned to begin in 2028, and the terminal is expected to be in operation by the mid-2030s.
