Seal Island Bridge Emergency Repair
The Seal Island Bridge Structure, or the Great Bras d’Or Crossing, in Victoria County, Nova Scotia, is the third largest bridge span in the province and a crucial link in the Trans-Canada Highway between Sydney and Baddeck. The NS Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal consulted Harbourside to provide structural engineering services for the assessment of the three span continuous main span and rehabilitation of a damaged truss diagonal. Harbourside developed an innovative structural repair with detailed phasing drawings.
Bedford By-Pass Girder Repair
The Bedford By-Pass Bridge Structure near Halifax, Nova Scotia, sustained structural damage in 2012 from a vehicular impact. In 2016, NSTIR awarded the contract for rehabilitation to Cherubini Metal Works, who contacted Harbourside to provide structural engineering services for the rehabilitation of the damaged portion of the bridge. Harbourside Engineering completed a condition assessment, developed a girder repair procedure that minimized impact to traffic on Highway 102 and the Bedford By-Pass, and provided detailed phasing drawings outlining the girder repair procedure to the contractor.
Bonnie Road Bridge Emergency Collision Repairs
Harbourside Engineering Consultants was sourced by the NS Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal to provide emergency repair services after four girders were struck by a vehicle on the Bonnie Road Underpass Bridge that spans over Highway 101 in Meteghan, Nova Scotia. Harbourside’s scope of work included determining the extent of repairs, demolition design and phasing, detailed design of new bridge components, and erection phasing. Although a detour was necessary during the bridge's closure, it was vastly reduced due to Harbourside's approach.
