Westshore Potash Export Project - Terminals SW Corner Removals Relocations

Civil Construction

BEL Contracting played a pivotal role in the Westshore Potash Export Project, specifically in the “SW Corner Removals and Relocations Works.” Situated at Roberts Bank in Delta, British Columbia, the overarching project by Westshore Terminals LP (WSLP) aimed to extend potash export capabilities to its existing coal export facility. The work handled by BEL Contracting was concentrated in the southwest corner of the site and represented the first phase of essential construction activities. The project was executed in the Fall of 2022 and focused on the demolition of existing on-site infrastructure, its relocation, and the construction of new underground utilities and civil infrastructure designed to support the upcoming potash facilities.
