Margaree Wharf Reconstruction
Harbourside Engineering was engaged by Small Craft Harbours, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (SCH) to develop the detailed design for the reconstruction of the finger pier wharf in Margaree, Newfoundland following damages during hurricane Fiona in the fall of 2022. The replacement design provides shore power and lighting along the length of the new pier and improvements to the facility to make it more resilient to extreme surge and wave events in the future.
Petit Cap Wharf Reconstruction and Expansion
Small craft harbours are the heart of the Maritimes. In 2021, Harbourside was hired by DFO Small Craft Harbours through a Standing Offer to develop two separate tender packages. These were created in order to design and replace the existing marginal wharf structure for the Petit-Cap Harbour, New Brunswick.
Westport Wharf Reconstruction
Harbourside was engaged as the primary consultant by Small Craft Harbours, Fisheries and Oceans Canada to complete the planning, design, and contract administration for the reconstruction of the wharf in Westport, Newfoundland. After developing the construction documents, Harbourside Engineering completed the initial inspection of the existing structure, then completed all preliminary and detailed design work and tender preparation (including drawings, specifications, and cost estimate) for the replacement structure.
Caribou Ferry Terminal (Part 1): Harbour Planning
Public Works and Government Services Canada hired Harbourside Engineering Consultants to carry out preliminary engineering and planning for proposed upgrades to the existing harbour located in Caribou, Nova Scotia. These upgrades were intended to provide increased protection to vessels in the harbour, increased berthage, and increased service areas for off-loading operations. This project was conducted prior to the founding of Harbourside Geotechnical Consultants, which necessitated the assistance of additional subcontractors.
