In Virginia's New River Trail State Park, Boulderscape rehabilitated the deteriorated piers of historic Bridge 13 — restoring the railroad bridge with reinforced structural shotcrete. After surface prep, epoxy-doweled reinforcing steel, and wire mesh, the crew placed roughly 3,300 square feet of 6-inch structural shotcrete — extending the bridge's service life while preserving its historic character.

Bridge 13 Rehabilitation
Bridge 13 carries the New River Trail on century-old piers that decades of service had worn down. Boulderscape restored them from the concrete up — pressure-washing the surfaces, epoxy-doweling new reinforcing steel into the sound concrete, and tying in wire mesh before shooting a 6-inch layer of high-strength structural shotcrete across roughly 3,300 square feet of pier face. A screed-and-broom finish leaves a durable, uniform surface built to carry the historic bridge into its next chapter.
The work reinforced the historic structure without altering its character. See our structural shotcrete process or explore more shotcrete finishes.
