MCC Solar PV Installations
The Municipality of Colchester (MCC) had reached out to industry to provide the design, supply, and installation of four net-metered solar PV systems in Colchester County, Nova Scotia, and contracted Harbourside Project Management to manage all aspects of the delivery between 2023 and 2025. Harbourside would act as Municipality’s representative during all stages of construction and the internal point of contact by leading communication with all stakeholders at the various solar facilities.
Simmons Sports Complex
The Simmons Sports Centre Replacement project in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, was aiming for a comprehensive upgrade with emphasis on community engagement and accessibility, and amenities designed for users of all ages. Harbourside took on the role as the Owner's Project Manager in the Design-Bid-Build procurement for the project, acting as the municipality’s representative during all stages of construction. Quality management and follow-up reviews were completed on an ongoing basis to ensure that the construction met specifications.
Canada Border Services Agency Warehouse
Harbourside carried out a geotechnical investigation for the new Canada Border Services Agency container examination facility in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The project required multiple specializations, and Harbourside handled the project management in conjunction with the Halifax Port Authority. Harbourside Project Management acted as the owner representative for this project, the associated developments at the PSA maintenance garage, and the South End Container Crane Stowage Foundations, all of which were completed by 2023.
Halifax Harbour Bridges : Annual Inspections
Harbourside Engineering Consultants has completed annual structural inspections of both the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge and the A. Murray MacKay Bridge in Halifax, Nova Scotia, owned and operated by Halifax Harbour Bridges (HHB), from 2010 to present. As the two main connectors between peninsular Halifax and the city of Dartmouth, the municipality is dependent on the continued operations of both bridges. Inspection reporting includes element condition, defect identification, and recommended maintenance.
THE BIG LIFT: Angus L. MacDonald Redecking Project
The existing deck and stiffening truss of the Angus L. Macdonald (ALM) Bridge, spanning over the Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia, were nearing the end of their service life and needed replacement. The project consisted of the design of the new suspended deck and stiffening truss, as well as the analysis of the bridge during erection and the design of the main erection equipment. Harbourside received the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Engineering in 2018 for its work on The Big Lift.
