We provide expertise and innovative solutions tailored for your port and terminal projects.
Our team brings more than 90 years of experience working on more than 500 marine facilities worldwide, including:
- Bulk terminal facilities
- Offshore structures and mooring systems
- General cargo and container terminals
- LNG, LPG and oil terminals
- Arctic and subarctic ports
- Ferry terminals and barge ramps
- Marinas and small craft harbours
- Cruise ship terminals
- Seawater intake and outfall facilities
Every facility and operating environment is unique. What sets us apart from our competitors is our full lifecycle service approach and understanding of when to apply the right technologies. We also bring a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to our projects, understanding that ports are key nodes of complex supply chains. From site selection studies and early concept planning, to design, construction, operations and asset management, our advisors, consultants and engineers bring expertise in a wide range of marine structures, applying the most appropriate methodologies for your projects.
Our capabilities include:
- Wharfs, jetties, and trestles using a combination of steel or concrete piles and deck structures
- Specialised prefabricated jacket structures, pile socketing, and caisson structures
- Land reclamation, including retention systems design
- Single point and spread mooring systems for bulk liquids loading or transhipment
- Tailored fender and mooring system design for specific metocean conditions and vessel characteristics
- Seawater intake and outfall facilities to service industrial facilities in coastal regions
We have worked in some of the most challenging geographies and environments, including intense seismic zones on the west coast of the Americas, the highest tides and currents in the Canadian Maritimes, the harsh ice and wave environments of the Arctic, and the sediment laden waters in South American fluvial ports. Whether it is the technical challenges of accommodating the dynamic forces from large ocean vessels, or the varying tides and currents that come with river barge and transhipment operations, we can create the most cost-effective, resilient, and efficient design for any facility.
