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.
Hampton Structures 404 & 603 Reconstruction
In 2022, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Small Craft Harbours, noted that structure 404 (a pier) and structure 603 (a marginal wharf) were in poor condition at Hampton Harbour, Nova Scotia. Harbourside was hired to design the reconstructed structures, including the removal and reconstruction of the armour stone revetment at Structure 603 and tie-ins to existing structures on three sides. The design was completed in February 2023, and a final structural tender package was prepared in April 2023.
Highway 104 Twinning (Part 3)
The Highway 104 Twinning Project was a Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Maintain (DBFOM) project, including twinning the 100 series highway between Sutherlands River and Antigonish, Nova Scotia, with new interchanges and bridges. Working as part of the Dexter Nova Alliance (DNA), Harbourside Engineering Group completed the design of bridge structures, and was awarded the 2025 Lieutenant Governor's Award for Excellence in Engineering for this project.
Gateway Bridge Inspection Program
In 2011, Gateway Operations began an Operation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (OMR) program for the four-lane Route 1 highway in New Brunswick. Part of this program requires the bi-annual inspection of 245 structural assets. Starting in 2014, Harbourside Engineering Consultants has been responsible for the biennial inspections of these structures. This substantial stretch of highway is one of the most important corridors in the province, connecting Canada to the United States, and ending in an interchange with the Trans-Canada Highway.
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.
Highway 104 Twinning (Part 1)
The twinning of Highway 104 comprised of various projects for the roadway's modernization, as twinned highways are safer and more efficient than their single-lane counterparts. Harbourside Engineering Consultants completed the design of the twin overpass structures at the Trunk 7 intersection near St. Francis Xavier University, through Antigonish, Nova Scotia, and received the 2025 Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Engineering resulting from work on this project.
