Bruce Tuck
Bruce Tuck, MBA, P.Eng., is a structural engineer and EastPoint’s Senior Project Manager
As one of EastPoint’s co-founders, he’s deeply involved in marine, structural, and multi-disciplined projects, and his office is a rallying point for junior structural engineers on the team.
Bruce has decades of experience at the helm of some of the most complex construction projects ever undertaken not only at EastPoint, but in the region. He has overseen several natural gas pipeline installations in the region, designed and managed the Mulgrave Marine terminal reconstruction project, and implemented $13.5M ferry terminal expansions for Transport Canada. He has designed and constructed:
- Radio towers to protect sensitive equipment in high winds
- Offshore sub-sea pipelines and the infrastructure and communications buildings that ensure safe operation
- Marine loading facilities for new coal mines
- Pumping chambers to help clean the Sydney Tar Ponds
- Berthing and mooring arrangements for cruise ships and ferry terminals
- Breakwater reconstructions to keep ports operable during harsh Maritime weather
“It’s very lively at EastPoint. We’re very entrepreneurial when it comes to putting ideas out there. We’re problem-solvers, and so we’re constantly pushing ourselves to think from new angles on challenges and solutions.
Engineering solutions are sometimes tailored to immediate capital availability without considering long-term costs. This limited focus can escalate both construction and operating costs and lead to far-reaching ramifications down the road. It’s our job to help our clients understand the math of good design, and of value—it’s better to spend money on engineering once, rather than on construction fixes again and again.”
