This project was undertaken to help protect the Bergen Light Rail from falling rocks. Though structural stability was secured with the use of rock bolts, this improvement left the cliff with large exposed gaps in the facing. BSI artisans repelled off ropes at heights up to 204 ft. to complete approx. 234,000 sq. ft. of aesthetic rehabilitation.
