The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has selected TerraMarine as the preferred proponent for the landmass and wharf component of the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project.
Roberts Bank Terminal 2 is a future marine container terminal at the Port of Vancouver that will increase container capacity on Canada’s west coast by more than 30 per cent, unlocking more than $100 billion in annual trade capacity, contributing more than $3 billion annually to Canada’s GDP, and supporting tens of thousands of jobs.
The selection follows a competitive procurement process, with TerraMarine identified as the preferred proponent, subject to finalization of contraction negotiations with the port authority.
The TerraMarine team is comprised of:
- FlatironDragados Canada, Inc.
- Van Oord Canada Ltd.
- Aecon Constructors, a division of Aecon Construction Group Inc.
- Carlson Construction Group Inc.
- Supported by design firm Arcadis Professional Services Canada Inc. and sub-consultants Stantec Consulting Ltd., TYPSA Inc., and Tetra Tech Canada Inc.
The construction contract involves the delivery of a marine landmass; wharf structure and berth pocket; widened causeway; expanded tug basin; and select environmental mitigation and offsetting projects.
As part of a competitive selection process, the port authority selected a progressive design-build procurement with a target price model, which allows for greater flexibility in the design process, strengthens collaboration, and enhances cost and schedule certainty.
TerraMarine will now work with the port authority, First Nations, and regulators to advance construction planning, including logistics, work planning, costs, schedule, early works and sub-contracting opportunities, including for Indigenous-owned businesses.
Financial close, construction mobilization, and early works are set to occur in late 2027, with construction (land reclamation) starting in 2028. Terminal operations are expected to begin in the mid-2030s.
