Recreational
New Waterfront Walkway and Fishing Pier
Location: Hoboken, New Jersey • Castle Point • Hudson River
Construction was recently completed on converting a derelict industrial shoreline (photo above) to a 750 L.F. pedestrian promenade along the Hudson River, with landscaped park areas at each end for a total project length of 1,100 L.F. The walkway is located at Castle Point below the Stevens Institute of Technology. The design, by S. T. Hudson Engineers, Inc., includes a "T" shaped, handicapped-accessible fishing pier extending 125 feet out into the Hudson River.
Shore Protection and Bulkheading at Liberty State Park
Location: Jersey City, New Jersey • New York Upper Bay
 S. T. Hudson Engineers (as Sub-Consultants to Taylor, Wiseman and Taylor) designed shore protection and bulkheading for 1,700 L.F. of shoreline at the north end of Liberty State Park.
The project included demolition of a derelict pier, design of a steel sheet pile cutoff
wall to replace it, and design of a riprap embankment.
The inshore promenade was designed by Taylor, Wiseman and Taylor.
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.
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.
City of Camden, Riverfront Promenade Extension
Location: Camden, New Jersey
 S. T. Hudson Engineers designed the extension of the riverfront promenade along the Camden waterfront. The new promenade is approximately 1,400 l.f. and extends from the North face of the former RCA pier (at the foot of Cooper Street), to the South side of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Hudson obtained all state and federal permits for the demolition of three (3) deteriorated structures, the rehabilitation of two existing piers and the installation of a new steel sheet pile bulkhead wall.
Our scope included the design of all new utilities, fire protection, landscaping, the creation of a major shallow water habitat for mitigation, and construction management.
The promenade has become one of the many popular tourist attractions along the waterfront.
