Souris Marine Terminal
The Souris Harbour Authority required engineering and consultation and analysis services in 2012 to evaluate the operations and conditions surrounding the Souris Marine Terminal on Prince Edward Island. Harbourside provided reviews and analyses of the site, permitting modernizations and infrastructure improvements, with the main challenge being the extension of service life for the existing infrastructure. In addition, upgrades to the facility may allow for larger vessels to use the terminal, making it a more versatile facility overall.
Peake’s Quay Marina Retaining Wall Repairs
The Peake’s Quay Marina Retaining Wall consists of steel H piles with tie backs to concrete deadman anchors. The water side flanges of the H piles suffered corrosion and abrasion in the tidal zone, so Harbourside Engineering Consultants was approached by the Charlottetown Area Development Corporation to provide repair details for the water side face of the piles. The maintenance and repairs of these retaining walls ensures that the quay remains in operations and improves the overall safety profile of the area in downtown Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
Skinners Pond Breakwater Repairs
Harbourside was engaged by Public Works and Government Services Canada to develop the concept and to complete the detailed design of repairs to the bulkhead breakwater structure at the Skinner’s Pond Facility, Prince Edward Island, which had severely deteriorated by 2011. The preliminary phase of the work included the assessment of the condition and life expectancy of the existing structure, and Phase II included the detailed design of a new wharf and breakwater design that would meet the required design life and loading requirements of the facility.
