Description:
National Hall is a prestigious, world class hotel and the hub of a complex of rehabilitated 19th century, and new buildings fronting the Saugatuck River in Westport, Connecticut. The transformation of National Hall from crumbling riverside landmark to a showpiece hotel and restaurant was achieved by meeting a long series of engineering challenges. The Di Salvo Ericson Group provided complete structural engineering services during the restoration to:

  • Sustain the structure during reconstruction
  • Repair and re-secure the cast iron facade
  • Remove two interior bearing walls
  • Stabilize untied and unsecured building walls
  • Support and strengthen rotted massive wood trusses
  • Shore the building and bring foundation back up six inches on the river side
  • Add heavily loaded mechanical equipment to roof
  • Insert another floor level
