Underhill has won what may be the last large land claim survey to be done for the settled land claims in Yukon (note: there are 3 outstanding claims yet to be settled in Yukon).

Underhill has been performing Land Claim survey in Yukon since 1995 and has performed 65 Yukon land claim projects for a value of over $14 Million.

Deltaport, at Roberts Bank in Delta, BC, is the largest container terminal in Canada, with a current capacity of 1.8 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent unit containers). Current road and rail constraints limit the capacity of Deltaport to meet forecast demand for additional container movements.
As part of the Container Capacity Improvement Program(CCIP), Port Metro Vancouver has worked with the Province of BC and Deltaport operator TSI Terminal Systems Inc. to develop a plan to upgrade existing infrastructure that would increase Deltaport’s container capacity by 600,000 TEUs, for a total of 2.4 million TEUs.
Underhill is tasked with surveying 17Km of road and rail corridor to support the engineering activities of WorleyParsons. Project details can be found on the Ports website:
