Harbourside Engineering Consultants Expands into St. John’s

Definition: Innovation - Innovation Is The Process Of Translating An Idea, Invention, Service, And Value Proposition Into Existence.

Innovation reflects imagination, resourcefulness, creativity, and vision to create new and often never-seen-before solutions. The qualities of an innovator include being pioneering, inventive, ­persuasive, persistent, progressive, and solution oriented.

At Harbourside Engineering Consultants, innovation is not just a word—it’s a mission, a passion, and the basis of all designs.

In October 2008, visionaries Mr. Robbie Fraser and Mr. Greg ­MacDonald formed Harbourside Engineering Consultants (HEC). In over four years of operation, HEC has grown to boast a team of 25 technical and 3 administrative staff members, and has completed or is currently involved in the design and management of over 450 ­projects with an estimated capital cost of over $600 million dollars.

The two founding members of the firm have vast experience in the ­design and construction of new structures, the ­assessment, ­rehabilitation/upgrading, and demolition of existing structures as well as providing structural engineering services for offshore oil and gas infrastructure. The principals believe in a thorough concept ­development to achieve the most functional, constructible, and, ­ultimately, economical design and have a long history of ­providing high quality construction documents while meeting demanding ­deadlines.

Harbourside Engineering Consultants are design innovators. They ­approach each project as a unique challenge requiring its own ­innovative design. Working in the offshore oil industry innovation is not only a requirement, it’s a way of life. Innovation makes the ­difference between a seemingly impossible challenge in a harsh ­environment, to a solution that supersedes the odds. Harbourside Engineering ­embraces the challenges of the energy, mining and construction ­industries as places to work at what they do best……innovate.
