The award-winning projects below are a testament to the calibre of the engineering performed at Harbourside.
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.
Larry Uteck Interchange
In response to the rapid growth of the both the Bedford South and the Bedford West communities, the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal sought to improve the interchange at Larry Uteck Boulevard between Exits 2 and 3. The project began in 2008, and the new interchange was opened in 2010.
Ramp 9 Structure Demolition and Overload Analysis, Halifax Approach
This project entailed the detailed demolition design of a post-tensioned concrete box structure in the North end of Halifax, adjacent to the MacKay Bridge (one of the two large suspension bridges crossing Halifax Harbour).
Demolition of Fairview Overpass
In 2009, the Fairview overpass was slated for demolition. The bridge was set to be redesigned and replaced due to the age and condition of the existing structure. This was coupled with the fact that the structure was similar in construction to that of the highway overpass in Laval Quebec that collapsed in 2006. The critical detail of concern was the bearing support corbel for the middle drop in span that was lightly reinforced and inaccessible for proper condition surveys.
