Skanska to upgrade Norfolk International Terminal in Virginia
This project aims to enhance the infrastructure of the terminal, which serves as the fifth-largest container port in the United States.
Skanska, a Swedish-headquartered project development and construction group, in a joint venture with US-based McLean Contracting Company, has inked a contract with The Port of Virginia to upgrade the Norfolk International Terminal North Wharf in Norfolk, Virginia, USA.
The project, set to start in March 2024 and expected to be completed by January 2026, aims to enhance the infrastructure of the terminal, which serves as the fifth-largest container port in the United States.
The upgrades encompass the removal of existing marine wharf fenders and mooring hardware, followed by the installation of new fenders, mooring bollards, a steel sheet pile toe wall, wharf repairs, and mooring dolphins. Additionally, a new 120’ gauge ship-to-shore crane rail will be installed.
Skanska’s portion of the contract, valued at USD 59 million (approximately SEK 610 million), will be reflected in the company’s US order bookings for the first quarter of 2024.
