Our Projects

Works that Transform Territories

CHEC has played a key role in transforming infrastructure across Latin America and the Caribbean for nearly four decades. From strategic ports and landmark bridges to urban transit systems and highways, our projects reflect a deep commitment to engineering excellence, local collaboration, and long-term impact. Each initiative is a testament to our ability to deliver complex, high-quality infrastructure that supports regional development and connectivity.

Chancay Port

Designed to handle containerised, general, and rolling cargo, the Port of Chancay is equipped to accommodate the world’s largest container vessels. This strategic facility aims to alleviate congestion and reduce logistics costs at Peru’s principal port—the Lima–Callao hub—while positioning itself as a vital gateway to Asia and a global hub for cargo redistribution. Additionally, the port is set to benefit from emerging and ongoing transport infrastructure projects that will further enhance its regional and international connectivity.

Scope: Construction of 4 main berths, 2 berths for containers, 1 berth for workboats, breakwaters, yards for bulk cargo and containers.

Fourth Bridge over the Panama Canal

The Fourth Bridge over the Panama Canal is a landmark infrastructure project located in Panama City, designed to significantly enhance the country’s transportation network. The project includes the construction of the main bridge, viaducts, and interchanges on both ends. Its centerpiece is a striking three-span steel-concrete composite cable-stayed bridge, measuring 965 meters in total length (240m + 485m + 240m).

The bridge features a distinctive H-shaped main tower standing approximately 186 meters tall, with a 75-meter navigation clearance, and a deck width of 36.87 meters.

Amador Cruise Port

This landmark project involves the design and construction of a modern cruise terminal equipped with two berths, revetment and shoreline protection structures, land reclamation, foundation treatment, and dredging of the entrance channel, turning basin, and berth area. It also includes the construction of a two-story terminal building, along with supporting infrastructure such as access roads, parking facilities, and complete utility systems—covering water supply, electricity, HVAC, and more.

Notably, this project represents the first government spot exchange initiative in Panama to be undertaken by a Chinese enterprise, marking a significant milestone in international cooperation and infrastructure development.

Highway 32

Located in central Costa Rica, this project forms part of the country’s main arterial route connecting the Caribbean port of Limón with the Nicaraguan border. It involves the reconstruction and expansion of a 104.2 km stretch of Highway 32—from the Ofrio junction (Highways 4 and 32) to Limón—into a modern four-lane expressway.

The route passes through five cities, crosses seven major rivers, and intersects with Highways 247, 248, and 10, navigating a landscape of plains and rolling hills.

Bogota Metro Line 1 Project

With a total length of 23.96 kilometers and 16 stations, Bogotá Metro Line 1 is the city’s first-ever metro system—an achievement nearly 70 years in the making. The project includes construction, operation, and maintenance over a 28-year period, and stands as the largest franchise infrastructure project in Latin America.

Once completed, this transformative project will significantly ease traffic congestion in Bogotá and improve daily mobility for approximately 2.9 million residents, marking a major milestone in Colombia’s urban development.

Posorja Multipurpose Terminal Project

The Phase 2 of the Posorja Multipurpose Terminal project is a cutting-edge 232.5-meter offshore container terminal designed to enhance cargo capacity and regional connectivity. Built on a strong cast-in-place pile foundation with advanced steel casing, the terminal features a durable two-layer reinforced concrete structure and a 36.43-meter-wide deck.

A riprap bank and concrete apron provide added shoreline protection, ensuring long-term stability and performance.

Guyana AC Marriot

Located along the East Coast of Demerara, the AC Marriott Hotel project is strategically positioned just 2.5 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean and only 0.5 kilometers from Eugene F. Correia International Airport. Spanning a site area of 10,562.3 m², with a planned construction footprint of 8,918.04 m², the development includes an open plaza, the main hotel building, a retail space, swimming pool, parking facilities, and other supporting amenities.

The hotel will be constructed to Western high-end interior design and finishing standards.

Impro Mexico SLP Park Constructon Project

The scope of the Impro Mexico SLP Park Construction Project includes the installation of steel structures, enclosure systems, and various construction works. Party A is responsible for supplying the steel structure, enclosure materials, doors, windows, and siphon drainage pipes.

The construction covers a total area of 45,500 m² and includes foundation works for the factory, installation of steel and enclosure structures, construction of a concrete office building, and associated outdoor facilities.

Mar 2 Expressway

The Mar 2 project is the second largest Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiative within Colombia’s national 4G highway program. Spanning a total of 136 kilometers, the project includes the rehabilitation and improvement of 118.3 kilometers of existing road, along with 17.7 kilometers of new construction.

As Colombia’s second national highway connecting to the Atlantic coast, Mar 2 plays a vital role in boosting regional connectivity and economic growth. Often referred to as Colombia’s “Road to Prosperity,” the project is expected to significantly benefit the communities along its route.

Southern Coastal Highway Improvement Project

The Southern Coastal Highway Improvement Project is a transformative infrastructure initiative designed to enhance connectivity and drive economic growth across Jamaica. The project is divided into four main sections, with CHEC Americas responsible for the design and construction of Sections A and B-ii.

As the first project launched under the Belt and Road Framework Agreement between the governments of China and Jamaica, it holds strategic importance in Jamaica’s long-term development plan. Once completed, this highway is expected to significantly boost economic activity in the eastern region of the country, creating new opportunities for trade, investment, and community development.

Maya Train

Located in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, the Maya Train is a visionary rail infrastructure project spanning 1,460 kilometers across five states. Designed to be built in two phases, the project is divided into seven sections and includes 29 stations, connecting key destinations throughout the region.

The Maya Train will link major tourist hubs in southern Mexico while also providing efficient passenger and freight transportation along the route. With design speeds of 160 km/h for passenger trains and 100 km/h for freight, the project is set to enhance regional connectivity, stimulate economic development, and promote sustainable tourism.
