Sailing Ahead Florida's 14 deepwater ports are poised to take advantage of the $5.25 billion expansion of the Panama Canal, a massive construction project that, when finished, will mean larger cargo-carrying ships can bypass ports along the U.S. West Coast and come to Gulf Coast and Atlantic ports instead. Also under way is the redevelopment of two marinas, a new restaurant and a master storm water system to preserve land on the port's south side.\n Joining this port's fleet are new ships from Holland America, Princess, Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise lines.

Eighty kilometers north of Panama City, Colón was Panama's original shipping hub, the branching point of merchants and investors of the 16th century, hundreds of years before the construction of the Panama Canal (1904 to 1914).

PANAMA CITY -- This is a story about big and how one of the biggest construction projects in the world, the remaking of the Panama Canal, will let bigger boats sail into deeper harbors, where authorities are spending billions dredging channels, blasting tunnels and buying cranes from China the size of 14-story buildings to accommodate super-sized cargo. All this might knock a couple of dollars off the price of a smartphone shipped from Shanghai -- or alleviate poverty in Panama, where the government plans to make a fortune in tolls -- or create a windfall for the ports ready to receive the big ships, such as those in Baltimore and Norfolk. Va.

In many companies, employees have been guided not only by official manuals but also by informal rules and corporate rituals that men and women have interpreted very differently. Real women wear hard hats at the sprawling global engineering and construction company CH2M Hill. They serve on the board of directors and manage construction projects for the 2012 London Olympics, the Panama Canal expansion and Abu Dhabi.

PETERSBURG - One of the biggest construction projects in the world today is relying for one critical segment on work done at a local manufacturing plant. Together with a sister factory in Texas, the Gerdau Ameristeel mill in the Petersburg Interstate Industrial Park made some 17,000 tons of steel sheet piling for use in the expansion of the Panama Canal. The steel sheets will be used in the excavation of the Pacific Access Channel and construction of the Borinquen Dam, integral parts of a project that began in 2007 and is scheduled for completion in 2014.
