Marine/Port

Master plans have been developed for Harbour Authorities, including Cribbon’s Point, Cheticamp, Bay St. Lawrence and Port Hawkesbury. Harbour conditions surveys for DFO-SCH, have been completed at more then 50 ports.

Engineering services have been provided for the design of marina facilities for the Guysborough Waterfront, Canso, and Cribbons Point. Wharf design and reconstruction design, launch ramps, and breakwaters including construction supervision, is performed on a regular basis at harbours throughout northern Nova Scotia. The wharf design was completed for heavy loading structure (10 kpsf) at New Ross, and the Pictou Fisheries Museum wharf facility.

CJMac have been responsible for the design of ocean outfalls for storm and wasterwater discharge including shore protection. In addition pipe for sewer collection have been designed for river crossings.

 

 

Project: Harbour Authority


This assignment undertaken in 2008 consist of facilitating a community based development of a master plan for the three harbours under the control of the Harbour Authority of Cheticamp.  Deliverables included summarization of user and public focus group inputs; best practices gleaned from other maritime harbour
authorities; and clarifying the underlying mission,  goals, and objectives of the Harbour Authority.

A gap analysis led to a review of opportunities for expanding services,  specifically ice plant, freezer, and cooler capacity. Preparation of the Business Plan including  cost estimates,

market potential, implementing strategy,  operating budget and potential funding options and partners.
The Master Plan, in addition to having an implementation schedule, included measurement milestone dates, indicators, benchmarks, and outcomes.

Project: Fisheries Museum Wharf


Northumberland Fisheries Museum Wharf, Pictou Waterfront

In 2006 C.J. MacLellan & Associates designed and tendered the construction of the new Northumberland Fisheries Museum Wharf located on the Pictou Waterfront.  This was


Phase I of a new museum project.  The construction consisted of approximately 52m of marginal wharf and a 18m x 38m finger pier totalling about 1400 m² of wharf structure.

Following the geo-technical investigation it was determined that a pile structure be used be built.

The design team worked closely with the Northumberland Fisheries Museum and Heritage Association (NFMHA) as it was important to perceive the historic look of the initial waterfront as this project neighboured the Ship Hector Quay.  The design and development of the wharf infrastructure was intended to function as a wharf and also house the new museum facility. Provisions for electrical, telephone, water and sewer were also made during construction of the wharf.


Continuous liaison with DFO, Canadian Coast Guard, NSDNR and NSEL on this project was required to maintain the condition of the approvals.

Following the driving of the treated timber piles, reinforced concrete pile caps were installed.  The finished surface of the wharf

included treated timber decking for the board walk area plus reinforced concrete deck under the proposed museum and light house footprints.

The project was completed for $553,000.
