Jamestown Revetment

Jamestown, Virginia

Following the Earthquake on August 23, 2011 and Hurricane Irene, our office was commissioned to provide a Study to Preservation Virginia for the historic Jamestown Revetment that is protecting the original 1607 Jamestown Fort. The Revetment is a low slope granite block structure that was built in 1900-1903. The Revetment originally received a National Award from the Corps of Engineers, and MDG, along with Preservation Virginia, will make the necessary modification as stewards of this tremendously historic structure. The study found that significant damage to the structure had occurred. McPherson Design Group provided contract documents for the necessary repairs.
