Project Delivery
Contrecœur receives sheet piles for 675 m quay wall
Port of Montreal says a 300-tonne construction crane was ready in June and quay-wall sheet piles were due on site from 13 to 15 July. Its public works updates stop before the first pile driven, a dredger mobilised or a baseline survey. DP World was also still working toward the terminal construction and operating agreement in its September 2025 announcement.
Published scope and current milestone
The Montreal Port Authority records site preparation from October 2025, a 300-tonne marine-construction crane ready in June 2026, and a 13-15 July 2026 window for quay-wall sheet-pile delivery and storage. Its documentation centre also exposes annual reports, monitoring programmes and reports, compensation plans, communication protocols, complaint summaries, and monthly noise and air-quality data as the compliance-source layer. The CIB says critical in-water works began in October 2025 and identifies dredging, quay walls, and vessel-access infrastructure under the Pomerleau-Aecon joint venture. DP World's September 2025 agreement, however, still placed final terminal design and the construction and operating agreement on the 2026 work programme. IAAC and Fisheries and Oceans records establish the project and compliance envelope, but not the current physical completion of any marine asset.
Port delivery and operating implications
The 675-metre quay and dredged approach have to be accepted before DP World can complete the yard, rail, utilities and equipment needed for service. A delay in dredging, sediment routing or quay acceptance would push that landside sequence. The CIB loan is tied to 388 conditions, so compliance reporting will matter alongside the construction record.
Evidence conclusion
Handover, readiness and service evidence
Delivered sheet piles are material on site, not a completed quay wall. The next owner update needs to identify first pile driving, dredging plant, baseline hydrography, sediment destination and acceptance criteria. DP World's final construction and operating agreement must then connect the accepted marine works to the terminal programme.
Outstanding evidence
- Dated evidence of first sheet-pile driving
- Dredger, method, quantity, and sediment-routing decision
- Baseline and acceptance hydrography
- Quay wall, berth, mooring, and vessel-access geometry
- Compliance reporting under the fisheries authorization and amended decision
- Final DP World construction and operating agreement
- Marine-to-landside handover and 2030 commissioning sequence
