Ocho Rios Berth 2 Rehabilitation
Harbourside was hired by the Port Authority of Jamaica (PAJ) to perform a condition assessment of the existing Berth 2 at the Ocho Rios Cruise Terminal in Jamaica, which was damaged by a cruise vessel in 2024. Harbourside Engineering Consultants assessed existing site conditions and assisted with design work, and Harbourside Geotechnical Consultants conducted various laboratory services. By condensing the design schedule, Harbourside helped to mitigate the social and economic impact on this region and restore functionality to the terminal as quickly as possible.
CCG SAR Geotechnical & Servicing Study
The Canadian Coast Guard engaged Harbourside to support the planning and design of a newly proposed CCG Search and Rescue Station (CCG-SAR) at the Freeport (South Cove) Small Craft Harbour on Long Island, Digby County, Nova Scotia. Along with allowing for larger vessels, the new SAR station will offer upgraded services and a larger dedicated berth. The placement of a new facility within Freeport also helps to make the station more accessible.
Cabot Shores: Malpeque Harbour Development
Malpeque Cove Harbour, Prince Edward Island, is a critical area for fisheries and aquaculture, yet accessing the cove through the Damley Channel has proven dangerous for boat passage for many years. Harbourside Engineering Consultants and MRSB Consulting Services Inc. were engaged to conduct an Economic Impact Study and New Wharf Design for the Malpeque Harbour Authority in 2019. The new Cabot Shores Harbour design will help boost the local economy, increase efficiency, and make life easier for local fishing boats and leisure craft.
Pier C Terminal Expansion
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, from 2018 to 2020. The purpose of the geotechnical investigation was to assess the subsurface soil and bedrock conditions at the site and to provide geotechnical recommendations to aid with the design and construction of the extension. This expansion will help create new jobs and provide further opportunity for growth throughout the Maritimes.
