New ferry terminal including dredging, rock mattress, concrete caissons, rock mound approach, armour stone, scour protection, transfer bridge and hydraulic lifting system, panelized fendering system, bollards, lighting and emergency power. The caissons designed for this project are the latest to be constructed in the Maritimes provinces (the only ones in the last five years). The design of the caissons and the associated scour protection were based on conventional caisson design combined with the latest developments in caisson design from Japan research carried out by Goda and Tanimoto.

The hydraulic lifting system represented the latest in hydraulic components and computer automated control.

Design of the marshalling yard and approach layout, approach structures, approach spans and lift bridge for the upper level loading at the Alternate Dock to accommodate a 24,700 DWT vessel complete with a new transfer bridge and hydraulic lifting system, lighting and emergency power. This completed construction of the Alternate Dock that began in 1999 with installation of the lower level facilities

To allow for the berthing of Eagle Class Cruise Ships at the existing commercial port, to supplement the berths at the cruise ship terminal (Port Zante) in Basseterre, the St. Christopher Air & Sea Ports Authority commissioned the design and construction of a new breasting dolphin to supplement the facilities existing infrastructure.

The Ro-Ro and Barge Terminal was part of a larger $60 million enhancement project which also included the construction of containment cells and dredging. Eastern Designers worked as a sub-consultant for the marine structures portion of the project.

Eastern Designers & Company Limited was responsible for the design of the Ro-Ro Terminal for a 700 vehicle carrier, a barge terminal to facilitate the shipment of large fabrication components by sea to markets along the Atlantic Seaboard and the Arctic, the extension of the existing terminal and slope protection for the new RO-RO terminal area.

A total of thirteen 36 m by 11 m concrete cribs were cast and installed complete with rock mattresses, cope walls, Ro-Ro ramps, bollards with up to 300 tonne capacities, various fenders types to accommodate the range of vessels, yard light and electrical bases, etc.

New ferry terminal including rock socketted pile support wharf, rock mound approach, armour stone, scour protection, transfer bridge and hydraulic lifting system, panelized fendering system, bollards, lighting, emergency power, passenger terminal, marshalling yard and car park, fencing, parking attendant kiosk and vehicle access control equipment, storage buildings and water supply system. The hydraulic lifting system represented the latest in hydraulic components and computer automated control.
