FlatironDragados-led joint venture named preferred proponent to deliver Roberts Bank T2 progressive design-build infrastructure project

TerraMarine, the joint venture led by FlatironDragados including Aecon, Van Oord and Carlston Construction Group Inc. has been selected by Vancouver Fraser Port Authority as the preferred proponent for the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Landmass and Wharf infrastructure project.

This collaborative delivery project in Delta, British Columbia, is a multi-billion-dollar expansion that will increase West Coast container capacity by more than 30% — by adding a new three-berth marine container terminal, developing a 1,300-meter wharf and widening the causeway. Further, the project will create thousands of jobs and enhance supply-chain reliability for businesses.

“Roberts Bank Terminal 2 is a transformational project that will strengthen Canada's trade capacity, support long-term economic growth and enhance supply-chain resilience,” said Juan Santamaría, Chief Executive Officer of ACS Group. “Projects of this scale are critical to supporting future trade and attracting investment.”

By supporting early alignment among project stakeholders and more informed decision-making throughout the project, the collaborative progressive design-build approach improves coordination, helps mitigate risk and enhances cost and schedule certainty.

The TerraMarine consortium is expected to sign a design and early works agreement with Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in the third quarter of 2026. Upon completion of the collaborative development phase, a design-build agreement is anticipated to be executed early in 2028 to commence construction. Completion is expected in early 2034.
