Maritime Link
The Maritime Link Project involved the construction of hundreds of kilometers of power transmission infrastructure in order to allow Nova Scotia to import renewable energy from Muskrat Falls in Labrador. This project took shape after engaging with Mi’kmaq stakeholder, various environmental studies, and multiple surveys.
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.
Karwood Market Area Traffic Study
The Karwood Market and Octagon Pond development areas in the Town of Paradise, NL. have been the subject of several development proposals in recent years. With all the expected construction, Harbourside Transportation Consultants (HTC) was tasked with preparing a Traffic Study to help direct Town staff on the road network improvements that would be required. The traffic study was to cover both development areas over a 5-year and 10-year planning horizon.
Portugal Cove – St. Philip’s Street Classification
In 2016, Harbourside Transportation Consultants conducted a comprehensive traffic and roadway study in the Town of Portugal Cove, St. Philip’s. In gathering this information, the Town’s goal was to have Harbourside re-classify streets as necessary and create a new town map to illustrate the street reclassifications.
Town of Portugal Cove – St. Philips Traffic Calming Policy
In 2016, Harbourside was brought on as transportation engineers to address traffic and pedestrian safety issues within the Town of Portugal, Newfoundland. To address these issues in a consistent manner, Harbourside developed a Traffic Calming Policy that could empower town staff to make informed decisions.
Town of Bay Roberts Transportation Master Plan
Most of the streets and roadways within the Town of Bay Roberts are rural in nature, with narrow asphalt widths, gravel shoulders and ditches to accommodate drainage. Many of these streets are not well suited to accommodate the urban growth patterns that have been experienced within the Town. To address this, the Town engaged HTC to prepare a comprehensive Transportation Master Plan (TMP).
Memorial University Area Traffic Study
In 2016, the City of St. John’s, Memorial University, and the Provincial Department of Community Services partnered together to undertake the Memorial University Area Traffic Study. The goal of the study was to examine the longer-term transportation infrastructure needs in and around the University area which has seen significant growth. Naturally, this study necessitated the expertise of transportation engineers.
Northwest River Bridge Replacement
The former Northwest River Bridge consisted of a two simple span prestressed concrete girder, reinforced concrete deck superstructure, founded on a single in-river concrete pier and concrete abutments and retaining walls located at each end of the bridge. Repairs had been completed on the structure over its lifespan, however, in 2012 the owner decided to replace the structure.
