AAPA LATAM 2025 taught us something important about port infrastructure

Just back from AAPA LATAM 2025. Four days with 600+ industry leaders in Lima.
Every conversation returned to the same point: ports are scrambling to keep up with demand. And the old ways of building aren’t fast enough anymore.
We met terminal operators who have experienced growth.
Port authorities are planning expansions that they need to finish by yesterday.
Engineers are looking for solutions that won’t break the bank.
The pressure is real. Ships are getting bigger. Trade volumes keep climbing. And every day of delay costs money.
That’s where our experience matters. We’ve built grain terminals. Designed steel structures that handle heavy loads in tough conditions. Managed projects where the schedule wasn’t negotiable.
But AAPA LATAM reminded us, it’s not just about what we build. It’s about understanding what each port actually needs. No two challenges are identical.
Some need capacity fast. Others need durability for the long haul. Many need both, plus a budget that works.
