Lime Kilns Stabilization


Pitkin County and the Colorado Department of Transportation

Thomasville, CO

Pitkin County and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) retained Opal to stabilize two structurally-distressed historic (1888) lime kilns. The kilns are 16 feet square and 20 feet in height. The work involved clearing vegetation from on the kilns, installing scaffolding, removing and rebuilding the uppermost four-feet of red sandstone block around the top of each kiln, re-pointing and replacing loose stone in the walls, infilling large thermal/settlement cracks on the sides, and repairing the chamber ceilings and covers.
