Pierhead Marina is a proposed mega-yacht harbour on the south-west coast of Barbados. Baird completed numerical and physical modelling to support the design of this facility and also developed tender documents.
Pierhead Marina is a proposed mega-yacht harbour at the mouth of the Careenage in Bridgetown, Barbados. Once developed, Pierhead Marina will provide much-needed services for the local and transient yachting community, stimulate the local economy, and lead the revitalization of Bridgetown and the surrounding areas.
The project involved the creation of a large vertical-walled breakwater, with the opportunity for mooring both outside and inside the harbour. Vessels in the 20 to 60 m range were the focus of this development, along with marina amenities and extensive public space. Baird was responsible for all the marine components of the design, including: physical modeling, conceptual design, marina layout, regulatory approvals, Environmental Impact Assessment, and technical drawings and specifications. Baird will also provide ongoing services during the contractor negotiation phase, as well as full construction observation services.
