The award-winning projects below are a testament to the calibre of the engineering performed at Harbourside.
Highway 102/107 Overpass
Harbourside Engineering provided the preliminary and detailed structural bridge and geotechnical design services for the highway 102 / Highway 107 overpass. This project was awarded the 2025 CISC Award for Excellence in Bridge Design.
Highway 104 Twinning (Part 3)
Working as part of the Dexter Nova Alliance (DNA), Harbourside Engineering Group completed the design of all bridge structures, including inspection, rehabilitation, and replacement; geotechnical engineering design, soil testing, foundation testing, and inspection; and alignment and interchange designs.
Team Gushue Highway Interchange Study
Harbourside Transportation Consultants was retained by the NLDTW to complete a detailed traffic analysis to review the impact of recent and future development on the Team Gushue Highway.
Rocky Barachois Bridge Replacement Approach
In 2016, Gros Morne continued its series of bridge replacement projects. This time, the focus was on the Rocky Barachois Bridge. Once again, Harbourside was contracted to provide detailed concept, design, and tender documents.
Deer Arm Brook Bridge Replacement Approach
In 2016, the Dear Arm Brook bridge was slotted for replacement. The existing conditions presented unfavourable turning radii and possible compound curvature that surprised westbound traffic.
MacKenzie River Bridge Replacement
Harbourside Transportation Consultants completed the design of the vertical and horizontal alignments, from initial concept layouts through to detailed design and tender, for the new approaches to the MacKenzie Bridge Replacement.
Seal Island Bridge Emergency Repair
The Seal Island Bridge Structure was constructed in 1961 in Victoria County, Nova Scotia. The Seal Island Bridge is the third longest bridge span in the province. NSTIR consulted Harbourside to provide structural engineering services for the structural assessment of the three span continuous main span and rehabilitation of the damaged truss diagonal located within the 500 ft. center arch span.
Bedford By-pass Girder Repair
In 2012, the Bedford By-Pass Bridge Structure sustained structural damage from a vehicular impact to the north girder Cherubini Metal Works contracted Harbourside to provide structural engineering services for the rehabilitation of the portion of the Bedford By-Pass Bridge superstructure that sustained impact damage.
Bonnie Road Bridge Emergency Collision Repairs
The southernmost girders in the center of the bridge span were struck and significantly damaged by an excavator bucket on the flatbed of a truck travelling northbound at highway speeds. The damage on the girders was beyond repair and extended beyond the east pier and into the east side span.
Warren Brook Bridge Replacement
The bridge structure spanned over the Warren Brook along the Cabot Trail near Ingonish Beach, Nova Scotia. Repairs had been completed on the structure over its lifetime; however, a call for proposals was issued in 2015 for the design of a replacement for the Warren Brook Bridge.
Dicks Brook Bridge Replacement Approach
In 2014, Gros Morne National Park began the process of replacing the Dick’s Brook Bridge. This would be one of the first in a series of bridge replacements required by the famous park.
Highway 104 Twinning (Part 2)
As a part of a major initiative by NSTIR to twin Highway 104 through the town of Antigonish, Harbourside received the contract to design six major structures along the new alignment.
Gateway Bridge Inspection Program
In 2011, Gateway Operations began an Operation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (OMR) program for the four-lane, 239 km Route 1 highway. Part of this program requires the bi-annual inspection of 245 structural assets, including overpasses, underpasses, water crossings, viaducts, culverts, retaining walls, and overhead sign structures.
Highway 104 Twinning (Part 1)
The twinning of Highway 104 was a massive undertaking. Various projects were completed by an alliance of engineers and construction contractors working to modernize 63 km of critical highway infrastructure. As part of this monumental effort, Harbourside completed the design of the twin overpass structures at Trunk 7 intersection.
Little Bras d’Or Cofferdam, Trestle and Bridge Replacement
Local tourism in the Little Bras D’Or area is dependent on the access provided by the Little Bras D’Or bridge. It acts as the only non-load related link to the Newfoundland ferry in North Sydney. As the bridge was in a deteriorated state, it was slated for replacement in 2010.
