Dredge Consultation
Fishing Pier, Marina with Boat Ramp, Promenade and Dockmaster Building
Location: Gloucester City, New Jersey • Delaware River
 S. T. Hudson Engineers designed a fishing pier, marina (featuring twenty-four boat slips) with a boat ramp, 1,120 L.F. pedestrian promenade, and the dockmaster building at Proprietor's Park. Hudson performed field investigations, including hydrographic, archeological and topographic surveys. Hudson's scope included: obtaining necessary state and federal permits, dredging consultation, design and construction management. Hudson was responsible for the adjacent site work, including: parking facilities, landscaping, stormwater management, utilities, the creation of an inter-tidal habitat (mitigation) and ornamental fixtures.
This project was very unique due to the presence of several historic timber crib structures and a sunken historic vessel, the frigate "Augusta." Hudson located these obstructions and worked in conjunction with local and state historic preservation officials to minimize impact during construction and designed signage as an educational tool for the public. This project shall be the cornerstone to Gloucester City's waterfront development plan and a catalyst in the growth of the local economy.
Upgrading of Cape May, New Jersey and Lewes, Delaware Ferry Terminals
Location: Cape May, NJ and Lewes, DE

Work has included boardwalks and pre-stressed concrete bulkheads, upgrading entire dock facilities - including a state-of-the-art composite fendering system, ferry cradles, composite monopile-supported fender clusters, energy-absorbing pier end dolphin structures, and utility improvements. Hudson also performs numerous engineers'/divers' surveys, hydrographic surveys and dredging consultation.
Design of New Public Access Waterfront Promenade and Fishing Pier
Location: Bayonne, New Jersey • Newark Bay
S. T. Hudson Engineers was selected to enhance public access and recreation along the Bayonne waterfront. This project included demolition and removal of a 370 ft. long pier and low deck apron, and the removal of a two-story concrete warehouse which sits atop the pier. Hudson designed a landscaped waterfront promenade for the remaining 300 ft. long portion of the pier and a new 200 ft. long T-shaped fishing pier outshore of this promenade, within the footprint of the removed portion of the pier. North of this pier, we prepared design documents for removal of an unstable section of a low deck pier and bank stabilization with rip-rap.
Hudson's scope of work included: conceptual designs, sediment sampling and dredge material characterization reports, upland (pier) soil sampling, preparation of federal and state permit applications, final design and related construction documentation.
Hydrographic Surveys of Intake Structures, Berths and Dredging Consultation
Location: Salem, Burlington and Mercer Generating Stations • Delaware River and Bay
S. T. Hudson Engineers performs annual pre- and post-dredge hydrographic surveys, with dredge quantity calculations for P.S.E. & G.'s Burlington Generating Station and Mercer Generating Station, both of which are located along the Delaware River. Hudson performs semi-annual bathymetric surveys at the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations, located in the Delaware Bay. Hydrographic surveys, cross-sections, side scan sonar imaging, intake profile charts, siltation/volume calculations and the security buoy installation/maintenance program are some of the services which Hudson provides to the nuclear facility.
These are Class I surveys, using Differential Global Positioning Systems, DGPS.
Other consulting services have included writing specifications, monitoring payment quantities, and collecting data for permit applications.
Design of the USS New Jersey Memorial Pier
Location: Camden, New Jersey
S. T. Hudson Engineers prepared preliminary designs and permit applications for permanent berthing of the eight-hundred and eighty-eight foot (888’) long USS New Jersey as a museum ship on the Camden waterfront. Hudson also prepared berthing and mooring designs to the U.S. Navy standards for the USS New Jersey at two Camden port facilities, for use during rehabilitation of the historic vessel.
Hudson was selected by the home port alliance to design the permanent memorial pier and vessel moorings for the battleship museum. Our scope of work included: permitting, design of waterfront structures and utilities, pre- and post-dredge hydrographic surveying, dredging consultation with the United States Army Corps of Engineers and technical assistance during construction.
