FORT PITT BLOCK HOUSE

Structural evaluation for the restoration and preservation of Pittsburgh’s oldest authenticated structure

• Using radiographic imaging, confirmed by visual observation and sounding techniques, TSE mapped internal wood damage and identified specific repair areas that required restoration

• Wood repairs included the use of structural epoxy to fill voids that had developed in the quarter-century-old timbers

• Selected wood replacement and restoration of deteriorated mortar in the exterior masonry
