Waterfront Development
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.
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.
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.
