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.
Mooring and Breasting Facilities for the Trump Yacht "Princess" & Repair of Bulkhead and Dredging at Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina
Location: Atlantic City, New Jersey • Clam Creek
S. T. Hudson Engineers designed the facilities for berthing this 1,800 DWT vessel in the Frank S. Farley State Marina, adjacent to the Trump Marina Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. Construction was scheduled on a fast-track basis. The work included permitting for dredging a deeper channel for the 282 ft. LOA, 15.4 ft. draft luxury yacht, and project construction management.

Additionally, Hudson conducted a diver/engineer survey of 1,700 L.F. of deteriorated timber bulkhead, identifying areas of material degradation, marine borer activity and structural failure. We performed stability analyses, then developed both a design for short-term repair of 400 linear feet of bulkhead for immediate implementation, and a design for long-term rehabilitation.
Hudson's scope included pre- and post-dredge soundings, volume calculations, sediment sampling and analysis, permitting for both, bulkhead repairs and maintenance dredging, and construction management.
