If you are referring to the Gaillard Cut widening, a project that began in 1992 and was completed in 2001, there were a number of contractors hired by the Panama Canal Commission and later on, by the Panama Canal Authority, to do all kinds of works, dredging, land removal, explosions, and so on.  Among those companies there was CUSA, a Panamanian company.  However, most of the work was carried out in house, including supervision of contractors.\n\nIf you are referring to Canal expansion with a new set of locks, there are no contractors considered yet, as the decision to go ahead with the project has not been made and requires of a national referendum for its approval.

As I believe the French refer to a "Panama Problem" when there's a securities fraud, in reference to the French corporation that endeavored to build The Panama Canal in the late 19th. Century, and went bankrupt.\n\nIf it's something different now, I don't know what they are referring to.

Global Crossings was a huge rapidly-growing interconnect carrier formed during the late 1990s. They became known for their underwater transatlantic connections. Now they are known for their accounting scandals (much like MCI-Worldcom, Qwest, etc.) but they still own/control many miles of fiber.

Your answer would be Vanderbilt, he put together and controlled the "modern day" New York Central railroad during its earlier years in the 19th century (and that would grow to become one of the largest and most profitable railroads during the first half of the 20th century before its downfall and eventual demise in the Penn Central merger of early 1970s).

Hmmm, do you mean the Northwest Passage?  That was the hoped-for waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific.  Since it didn't exist, the Panama Canal was created.

Nearly 500 rivers lace Panama's rugged landscape. Mostly unnavigable, many originate as swift highland streams, meander in valleys, and form coastal deltas. However, the Río Chepo and the Río Chagres are sources of hydroelectric power. \n\nThe Río Chagres is one of the longest and most vital of the approximately 150 rivers that flow into the Caribbean. Part of this river was dammed to create Gatun Lake, which forms a major part of the transit route between the locks near each end of the canal. Both Gatun Lake and Madden Lake (also filled with water from the Río Chagres) provide hydroelectricity for the area of the former Canal Zone. \n\nThe Río Chepo, another major source of hydroelectric power, is one of the more than 300 rivers emptying into the Pacific. These Pacific-oriented rivers are longer and slower running than those of the Caribbean side. Their basins are also more extensive. One of the longest is the Río Tuira, which flows into the Golfo de San Miguel and is the nation's only river navigable by larger vessels
