Pony Express Stations Stabilization
Restoration of Historic Sites
Central Nevada

Located in the central Nevada desert, the two Pony Express Stations, two Overland Stage Stations, and an Overland Telegraph Station are constructed of stone and adobe mortar dating back to the early 1860s. These structures, which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, were in desperate need of stabilization.

The scope of work included a comprehensive Historic Structure Report and extensive conditions assessment. Also included in the scope of work were working drawings, specifications for the work, and administration of the stabilization efforts. A unique stabilization method was developed specifically for the sites and tested in situ. To maintain the integrity of the sites, the existing stones were left in place and new adobe mortar was pumped into the walls using customized pressure.
