This design/build project near Nederland, CO included the replacement of a failed 45-ft-tall retaining wall adjacent to the historic Cardinal Mill. LORIS designed and provided construction management for a new mechanically stabilized earth wall to replace the existing masonry-faced timber crib wall, which preserved the mill structure, restored site stability, and maintained the site’s original historic appeal. Ultimate plans include restoration of the mill structure itself in order to open the site to tourism.
