Barrack Point Potash Terminal Facility Condition Assessment
Harbourside was engaged by the Port of Saint John to assess the Barrack Point Potash Terminal Facility’s infrastructure at the Port in Saint John, New Brunswick. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the condition of the structures throughout the facility and estimate their remaining service life.
Cabot Shores: Malpeque Harbour Development
Lobster fishing and aquaculture vessels struggle daily to access Malpeque harbour in PEI. In 2019, a steering committee was formed to develop a long-term solution. The committee engaged Harbourside Engineering Consulting and MRSB Consulting Services Inc. to conduct an Economic Impact Study and New Wharf Design for Malpeque Harbour Authority.
Pier C Terminal Expansion
From 2018 to 2020, Harbourside provided geotechnical and site services to the Halifax Port Authority related to the construction of the Pier C Extension for the Port of Halifax’s South End Container Terminal in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Port of Charlottetown Cruise Berth Expansion
Amongst many marine projects successfully completed by the team over the past 5 years, the work at the Port Charlottetown is arguably the most well rounded civil marine project that showcases the team’s exceptional experience in assessment, design, project management, and construction of marine works.
Souris Marine Terminal
In 2012, the Souris Harbour Authority required engineering consultations and analysis services. The goal was to evaluate the operations and conditions surrounding the Souris Marine Terminal, and potential future upgrades to the facility.
Peake’s Quay Marina Retaining Wall Repairs
The Peake’s Quay Marina Retaining Wall was built in 1990 as a tied timber lagging retaining wall wharf structure. The wall consists of steel H‑piles spaced at 2.5 metre centres with tie‑backs to concrete Deadman anchors. HEC was approached by the Charlottetown Area Development Corporation (CADC) to provide repair details for the water side face of the piles.
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.
Skinners Pond Breakwater Repairs
The bulkhead breakwater structure at the Skinners Pond facility had severely deteriorated by 2011. As such, Public Works and Government Services Canada were looking to have a concept developed and the detailed design caried out of the substantial repairs that were needed.
Tufts Cove Cooling Water Intake Structure, Floating Analysis
As part of an overall circulating water improvement at the Nova Scotia Power Tufts Cove site in Halifax Harbour, NS Dexter Construction engaged Harbourside Engineering Consultants to conduct a floating analysis of the large concrete intake structure that was fabricated on the Halifax side of the Harbour…
Alternate Dock Facility Viaduct, Marine Atlantic
The Alternate Dock Facility Viaduct at Port Aux Basques is unique among Harbourside’s projects. This is because the principals of HEC, Robbie Fraser, MSc., P.Eng. and Greg MacDonald, P.Eng., completed the detailed design of the Alternate Dock while still employed at CBCL Limited!
