Raising the Bar at Every Turn
Engineering Design and Innovation
Every project that Harbourside undertakes is backed by our commitment to engineering excellence. Our work is characterized by thorough communication and comprehensive design. We see the whole picture. At every step, Harbourside redefines the meaning of quality engineering. With seasoned professionals from every sector of the industry, we are able to solve even the most technically challenging projects. Both throughout Atlantic Canada, and on the international stage, our work has been recognized by highest supervising bodies. The award-winning projects below are a testament to the calibre of the engineering performed at Harbourside.
Port Lands Flood Protection and Redevelopment
Harbourside was retained to provide Erection and Fabrication Engineering and Quality Verification Engineering services. This was for the fabrication, transportation and erection of the steel arch Port Lands bridges. These would be transported by barge from Halifax, all the way to Toronto!
Burgoyne Bridge Erection
Originally built in 1915, by 2010, it was recommended that the Burgoyne bridge be replaced. Design began in 2014, and construction was completed by 2016. Harbourside was contracted by Pomerleau and Structal as a subconsultant to handle construction phasing, and unique launch/design approaches. Harbourside also developed the temporary works utilized in this project.
Central Avenue – Accelerated Bridge Construction
The central avenue replacement bridge will replace an existing 5 span bridge structure. The existing bridge longest span is a through truss design that spans 61.56m over 4 railroad tracks. Harbourside was responsible for the structural design of the 4 – self stabilizing temporary steel bents which were supported on spread reinforced concrete footings founded on bedrock.
Vimy Memorial Bridge Erection
The Vimy Memorial Bridge (formerly the Strandherd Armstrong Bridge) is a multiple, space-truss arch bridge that spans across the Rideau River with a concrete deck supported by steel framing that is, in turn, suspended by cables. Harbourside Engineering Consultants (HEC) provided the erection engineering for the project and had developed a unique method to erect the complex structure.
