Projects

V-Site Assembly Building
Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico
Crocker & Associates was the primary consultant on historic preservation practice for the restoration of the Victory site, where the first atomic weapon was assembled. We specified and directed preservation techniques, structural stabilization and compliance with the Secretary of Interior Standards for historic preservation.

Palace of the Governors, Santa Fe
The company completed structural monitoring and documentation of this National Historic Landmark. Demolition of adjacent, non-historic structures required that vibration levels be monitored through the use of seismographs, crack monitors, and daily inspections. 

Marfa House, Marfa, Texas
This privately owned two-story adobe residence required a comprehensive structural assessment and stabilization plan, including drainage system and extensive structural repairs.

Painted Kiva
Coronado State Monument, Bernalillo, New Mexico
The Painted Kiva contained paintings comprising what is generally acknowledged to be among the finest pre-historic mural art in North America. Crocker & Associates completed a condition report, assessment, and outline strategy for treatment of the kiva, located in the AD 1300 Kuaua Pueblo.

City of Tucson, Tucson, Arizona
Specialists from Crocker & Associates provided assessments and expert witness testimony for the city related to moisture invasion in historic adobe structures.

Leaden Hall School, Salisbury, England
Crocker & Associates designed and directed the installation of a foundation system for the expansion of the Leaden Hall School located within the Salisbury Cathedral Close. Strict compliance with English Heritage specifications required that the foundation not disturb Roman era archeological remains, utilize no Portland cement, be capable of withstanding flood conditions, be reversible, and cause no vibration during installation that would damage surrounding historic structures.

Baca County Courthouse Springfield, Colorado
The firm was retained by the Colorado Historical Fund and Baca County to design a new roofing system that manages roof runoff while protecting historic architectural elements. The company also provided recommendations regarding the conservation of historic materials.

Los Luceros Residence, New Mexico
The company was retained to design a stabilization system that included strapping the 19th century hacienda together with polypropylene belting and filling voids with a lightweight ceramic grout. Minimal invasion and reversibility were key requirements.

Mission of San Cristobal, Galisteo Basin, New Mexico
Crocker & Associates presented a strategy that changed drainage patterns on the Mission San Cristobal (ca. 1626) without any excavation. Subsequently, the plan called for infilling the mortar joints with a mix virtually identical to the existing and then re-plastering the entire wall with a similiar mud. Two small sections of the walls were then reconstructed on existing foundations to buttress the standing remains.
