Halifax International Airport Stand-by Parking Lot
Harbourside Transportation Consultants were retained by the Halifax International Airport Authority (HIAA) to complete a review of available options for stand-by parking and to develop a solution to provide additional spaces at the largest airport in Nova Scotia, the Halifax Stanfield International Airport. Harbourside Geotechnical Consultants also conducted the geotechnical investigation portion of this project for quality assurance and control at the project site.
Peggy’s Cove Infrastructure Improvements
Peggy’s Cove is one of Nova Scotia’s most iconic tourist attractions, drawing approximately 700,000 visitors annually. In recent years, the popularity of Peggy’s Cove has created issues in relation to crowds, traffic, servicing, and vehicular and pedestrian infrastructure. To address this, Develop Nova Scotia commissioned the Peggy’s Cove Master Plan, where Harbourside led the design, tendering and construction management of a variety of infrastructure improvements at Peggy’s Cove. Harbourside, in collaboration with Englobe Corporation, was named the 2023 recipient of the Nova Scotia Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Engineering for this project.
Paradise Intermediate School Roundabout Design
Harbourside provided the detailed design of the new roundabout on McNamara Drive for the Paradise Intermediate School in Newfoundland. The work included upgrades to the intersection and the access road, and servicing to the new school in the form of water main installation, storm water collection and conveyance, and wastewater collection. Harbourside created the detailed design of single lane roundabout at the intersection of McNamara Drive and new access road, with the provision of expansion to a multi lane roundabout for the future.
Legion Road and Lawrence Pond Road Upgrades
The Town of Conception Bay South, Newfoundland, identified the need to improve its road network through road upgrades to Legion Road and Lawrence Pond Road. Progressive Engineering & Consulting along with Harbourside Engineering Consultants were chosen to provide comprehensive services for both roadways, with Harbourside handling multiple facets of design and analysis. This included widening the existing cross section by providing a wider travel lane, municipal services upgrades, new curbs and gutters, and a new sidewalk.
