Bannack State Park in Montana was inundated with water, mud, and rocks from a flash flood. BELFOR restored more than 80 historic structures to help reopen the park.

Bannack State Park – Dillon, Montana

In July, Montana’s first territorial capitol (and one of the most visited state parks), Bannack State Park, was inundated with water, mud, rocks, and artifacts from a flash flood. Most of the 80 historic structures were damaged and it was thought by some that the park would never recover. Within 48 hours, BELFOR was on site with incident management personnel, equipment, and restoration workers to assess the damage and begin the recovery process.

Through pre-established disaster recovery contracts with BELFOR, the work was completed in just six weeks (well before the winter freeze).

“We were completely blown away at how quickly BELFOR responded to a very high profile loss that devastated some of Montana’s most treasured historical properties and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome.”
