PB has planned, designed and managed the construction of ports and marine facilities around the world since the early 1900's, when William Barclay Parsons advised the Isthmian Canal Commission on the building of the Panama Canal.

Our experience includes planning, guidance and recommendations for:

• National and regional transportation and ports
• New greenfield ports
• Container and bulk terminals
• Passenger terminals
• Specialized cargo facilities
• Intermodal terminals
• Repairing, modernizing and expanding existing facilities
• Equipment and operating procedures
• Oil and gas pipelines
• Subsea cabling

We've also performed construction phase services and assisted with procuring equipment and materials.

Developing ports around the world

PB has completed a wide array of assignments across the United States, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia. We've been involved in all development phases of waterfront industrial and marine terminal facilities—for receiving, storing, processing and shipping commodities by all modes of transportation. These have included deep sea and inland ports and waterways, container and general cargo terminals, heavy-lift installations, liquid and dry-bulk terminals and intermodal facilities.

We've also completed numerous environmental assessments and initiatives including dredging, land reclamation, all types of foundations and protective structures to retain earth or to guard against wave and storm action.

Other services we've provided include tariff studies, port management and operations analyses and recommendations for improving managerial and operational efficiency.
