Aecon Group Inc. announced that its TerraMarine consortium has been selected as the preferred proponent for the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 – Landmass and Wharf progressive design-build project in Delta, British Columbia. The consortium, in which Aecon holds a 30% interest, includes FlatironDragados Canada Inc., Van Oord, and Carlson Construction Group Inc. The project is expected to enhance trade resilience and build critical capacity at Canada’s largest port.

TerraMarine is expected to sign a design and early works agreement with the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in the third quarter of 2026. Following the collaborative development phase, a design-build agreement is anticipated to be executed in the first quarter of 2028 to commence construction. The project is expected to be completed in the mid-2030s.

The Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project will increase container capacity at the Port of Vancouver by 30%, delivering a new three-berth marine container terminal and creating 320 acres of new waterfront industrial land. The project is described as a priority nation-building undertaking that will support economic security and deliver national and local benefits.

Jean-Louis Servranckx, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aecon Group Inc., emphasized the project's significance, stating it will enhance trade resilience and build critical capacity. Thomas Clochard, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, highlighted the consortium's extensive civil and marine construction capacity, noting Aecon's portfolio includes the Port of Montréal Expansion project in Québec and the Kingstown Port Modernisation project in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

The project aligns with Aecon's strategy to expand its port infrastructure expertise. The company delivers integrated solutions through its Construction and Concessions segments, serving private and public-sector clients across North America and globally.

Aecon Group Inc. has expanded its footprint in the U.S. nuclear sector with the purchase of a fabrication facility in Jackson, South Carolina. The acquisition strengthens Aecon’s ability to support a growing roster of nuclear projects and clients across the United States, positioning the company to play a key role in strengthening domestic supply chains and supporting energy security across North America.

The 120,000-square-foot facility has been utilized by Aecon since 2015. Advancing the facility’s operations will play a key role in delivering critical fabrication and manufacturing services for nuclear refurbishment, life extension, new build, and federal projects. Additionally, the site will support conventional power and industrial projects, serving as a nuclear and ASME fabrication centre of excellence.

Aaron Johnson, Senior Vice President, Aecon Nuclear, stated that the investment builds on Aecon’s established, integrated nuclear fabrication network across North America. He noted that the Jackson facility strengthens Aecon’s ability to provide localized fabrication capacity for U.S. customers while drawing on decades of experience and technical excellence. It enhances Aecon’s integrated, self-perform solutions, combining engineering, fabrication, modularization, and construction to meet the evolving needs of commercial and federal nuclear clients.

Aecon’s Fabrication Facility and Welding Centre of Excellence in Cambridge, Ontario, serve as cornerstones of its capabilities. These facilities support some of the largest nuclear refurbishment and new build projects in North America by providing advanced welding, machining, modularization, and specialty fabrication services. This enables Aecon to self-perform and maintain control over quality, safety, and schedule across the full project lifecycle.

Together, Aecon’s nuclear fabrication facilities create a scalable platform supporting large-scale refurbishment programs and next-generation nuclear projects. This includes the first grid-scale Small Modular Reactor (SMR) project in the G7 currently under construction in Ontario. Aecon is leveraging its fabrication expertise, modular construction approach, and specialized workforce to help deliver this first-of-a-kind project.

The facilities hold certification stamps for nuclear quality management systems compliant with CSA standards in Canada and ASME (N, NPT, NS, and NA stamps). They also maintain programmatic compliance with U.S. federal regulation 10 CFR 50 Appendix B. Aecon’s 4,000-strong nuclear workforce and expanding fabrication footprint underscore its long-term commitment to the U.S. market.
