Biltmore Estate Historic Bridges
Victoria Bridge and Bass pond bridge
A &O completed in-depth assessment and repair plans for the Victoria Bridge and a structural condition assessment for four other historic bridges on the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC.
For the Victoria Bridge, A&O performed load rating and structural engineering services to repair steel girders and other steel components.
The Bass Pond Bridge is not only a historic bridge, but is striking because of its red brick arch. Designed by Biltmore architect Richard Morris Hunt, it was featured in the movie, Last of the Mohicans. A&O performed structural condition assessment for the Bass Pond bridge and three additional bridges.
Biltmore Estates has had an on-going relationship with Alpha & Omega Group since 2000. We continue to assess and inspect bridges on an as needed basis. Ω
