Feltzen South EII Reconstruction
Feltzen South wharf is in Lunenburg County, on the Atlantic Ocean. This wharf operates year-round and is primarily used by fishermen. Harbourside Engineering Consultants was hired by Public Works to design a replacement structure for the outer ell wharf.
Saint-Édouard-De-Kent Containment Cell
Due to environmental requirements, a new containment cell for dredge spoils was needed at the Saint-Édouard-de-Kent Harbour in Kent County, New Brunswick.

Université Sainte-Anne Track and Field Facility
Harbourside was retained by Tate Engineering as part of the design of Université Sainte-Anne track and field facility. This was for their client Municipality of the District of Clare. As a major university, and the only francophone university in Nova Scotia, this project represented an important cultural objective.
Groundhog River Bridge Demolition
The former Groundhog River Bridge, at 80 years old, was approaching the end of its service life. In 2021, Harbourside was contracted by Facca Incorporated to provide alternative options for demolition of two such structures that spanned the Groundhog River waterway.
Peggy’s Cove Infrastructure Improvements
Peggy’s Cove is one of Nova Scotia’s most iconic tourist attractions, drawing approximately 700,000 visitors annually. In recent years, the popularity of Peggy’s Cove has created issues in relation to crowds, traffic, servicing, and vehicular and pedestrian infrastructure. To address this, Develop Nova Scotia commissioned the Peggy’s Cove Master Plan…
McNamara Drive Roundabout Design
In 2018, the town of Paradise, Newfoundland, made considerable investments into improving its road networks. This investment required expertise in transportation engineering. The goal was to improve traffic flow throughout the town. As part of this initiative, a roundabout was planned for the intersection of Topsail Road and McNamara drive.
Canada Border Services Agency Warehouse
In 2020 Harbourside carried out a geotechnical investigation to aid with design and construction of the new container examination facility. Later, Harbourside would also be contracted to undertake the design, paving, and marking of the lot surrounding the facility.
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.

Harbourside Engineering Consultants has completed annual structural inspections of both suspension bridge structures, along with a variety of ancillary bridge (multi span steel box girder, rigid frame, multi-span voided post tensioned concrete slabs) and retaining structures (cast-in-place cantilever, bin-wall) from 2010 to present.
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.
Darnley Wharf and Breakwater Reconstruction
For this project, Harbourside was engaged as the prime consultant to complete the design of a replacement structure for an existing marginal wharf. In addition, we were responsible for the partial replacement of an existing breakwater, the design of an abutment for the gangway to the floating docks and the design of a new anchorage for the floating docks.
Little Liscomb Wharf Reconstruction
The existing wharf at Little Liscomb was a partially demolished creosote timber structure. Harbourside was engaged by DFO to encapsulate the wharf in a new Berlin Wall structure with raised elevation and wider deck.
Fort York Pedestrian Bridge
ES Fox was awarded the contract for the bridge steel superstructure erections of the Fort York pedestrian bridges and retained Harbourside to complete the erection engineering.
Hall’s Harbour Wharf Replacement
Harbourside Engineering Consultants was hired to design a replacement structure for Hall’s Harbour wharf: a ground-out fishing wharf that is also heavily used by tourists during the summer and fall. Hall’s Harbour is also a popular location for observing tidal changes of the Bay of Fundy. Due to structural conditions, the existing wharf at this facility was considered unsafe for use.
Legion Road and Lawrence Pond Road Upgrades
The Town of Conception Bay South had identified the need to improve its road network through two road upgrades, Legion Road and Lawrence Pond Road.
Cornwall Interchange Design
In 2016, the Prince Edward Island Government requested funding from Ottawa to redirect the Trans-Canada Highway around the town of Cornwall. In the span of just 4 years (2009 to 2013), the area saw 159 collisions (none of them fatal). The project was to be completed in two phases. Enter Harbourside Transportation Consultants!
Galway Road Network Design
In 2015, Harbourside Transportation Consultants was hired to provide the consulting design services to assist with the creation of three multi-lane roundabouts. These were to be constructed in the Galway development in St. John’s. HTC’s scope of work as transportation engineers was for preliminary and detailed design of the three roundabouts and the roadway between roundabouts ‘A’ and ‘B’.
City of Corner Brook Traffic Signal Systems
The City of Corner Brook retained Harbourside Transportation Consultants (HTC) in November of 2017 to complete a comprehensive evaluation of the City’s traffic signal systems. Relying on our expertise as transportation engineers, the town’s goal for the study was to document existing conditions at each traffic signal system and to recommend upgrades as required.
