Carter’s Point Wharf 410 Reconstruction
Carters Point Wharf was an existing creosote timber crib structure that was deteriorated and require replacement. Harbourside Engineering was hired by DFO Small Craft Harbours to design the demolition and reconstruction work.
Highway 102/107 Overpass
Harbourside Engineering provided the preliminary and detailed structural bridge and geotechnical design services for the highway 102 / Highway 107 overpass. This project was awarded the 2025 CISC Award for Excellence in Bridge Design.
Hampton Structures 404 & 603 Reconstruction
Hampton Harbour is a small craft harbour used primarily for commercial fishing vessels. The wharves were in overall poor condition, and the timber retaining structures appeared to have failed. Harbourside was hired by DFO Small Craft Harbours to design the reconstructed structures.
Feltzen South EII Reconstruction
Feltzen South wharf is in Lunenburg County, on the Atlantic Ocean. This wharf operates year-round and is primarily used by fishermen. Harbourside Engineering Consultants was hired by Public Works to design a replacement structure for the outer ell wharf.
Darnley Wharf and Breakwater Reconstruction
For this project, Harbourside was engaged as the prime consultant to complete the design of a replacement structure for an existing marginal wharf. In addition, we were responsible for the partial replacement of an existing breakwater, the design of an abutment for the gangway to the floating docks and the design of a new anchorage for the floating docks.
Little Liscomb Wharf Reconstruction
The existing wharf at Little Liscomb was a partially demolished creosote timber structure. Harbourside was engaged by DFO to encapsulate the wharf in a new Berlin Wall structure with raised elevation and wider deck.
Naufrage Breakwater Reconstruction
Harbourside was engaged as the prime consultant to complete the design of a new breakwater to replace the existing breakwater structure. The existing breakwater was a timber piled structure, a concrete deck and armour stone below and at the end. The new structure is a steel sheet pile wall with a concrete deck and armour stone behind and at the end of the new breakwater.
Hall’s Harbour Wharf Replacement
Harbourside Engineering Consultants was hired to design a replacement structure for Hall’s Harbour wharf: a ground-out fishing wharf that is also heavily used by tourists during the summer and fall. Hall’s Harbour is also a popular location for observing tidal changes of the Bay of Fundy. Due to structural conditions, the existing wharf at this facility was considered unsafe for use.
North Lake Wharf Replacement
For this project, Harbourside was engaged as the prime consultant to complete the design of a replacement structure for North Lake 426P. The project started with an inspection and assessment of the existing wharf structure. That inspection determined that the existing wharf was in poor condition and needed to be temporarily repaired prior that fall to ensure the wharf was ready for the spring lobster fishing season.
