South Jersey Port Corporation (an agency of the State of New Jersey)

Complete Terminal Facilities for the Import and Distribution of Tropical Fruit

Location: Camden, New Jersey • Delaware River

S. T. Hudson Engineers is responsible for the design and construction management of a major upgrade on an existing general cargo terminal facility.

The work included a new state-of-the-art ship fendering system to protect a fleet of modern reefer vessels, and a new turning cell at the slip entrance to facilitate docking operations under extreme conditions of winds and river currents.

Hudson also designed a new two-story, air-conditioned terminal office building (red arrow) with underground utility services; a new truck dock for the existing refrigerated warehouse (yellow arrow), new paving, high-mast HPS area lighting and stormwater management facilities; also a new forklift washdown facility including a washwater treatment system.

In 1999, Hudson designed a new refrigerated warehouse (green arrow) and reefer trailer connections. The warehouse has a capacity of over 70,000 square feet for produce. We recently designed and provided construction management for another refrigerated warehouse (blue arrow) with a capacity of 54,000 square feet. These upgrades and additions to the Broadway Terminal were instrumental in making it one of the largest fruit ports/distribution centers in the world.

City of Gloucester, Camden County, New Jersey

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.
