When concerns arose about the long-term stability of a historic waterfront boathouse, AMI evaluated foundation conditions and developed rehabilitation options to support preservation.
AMI Consulting Engineers supported the U.S. Forest Service with an engineering evaluation of the historic Forest Lodge Boathouse on Lake Namekagon in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. The two-story recreational boathouse required investigation due to concerns related to foundation stability and long-term performance in a waterfront environment.
AMI identified boring locations for geotechnical exploration and completed a comprehensive condition assessment of the supporting crib and stone foundation, including underwater inspection. Based on subsurface findings and observed conditions, AMI developed multiple foundation rehabilitation options and documented them in a technical report. The work provided the U.S. Forest Service with clear, practical guidance to support future stabilization and preservation of this historic waterfront structure.
