St John’s Episcopal Church
Structural Condition Assessment
The Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina requested that Alpha & Omega Group perform a structural condition assessment of St John’s Episcopal Church.
Built in 1896, St. John’s is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The building is currently experiencing foundation failures, particularly the bell tower’s supporting structure. As such, a structural condition assessment was necessary to determine the structural integrity and observe any deficiencies in the building.
A&O was asked to perform a preliminary assessment. They reviewed all existing documents on the church and then came on site to check for any signs of deterioration, damage, weakness in the structure, settlement, or other signs of deficiency. They also checked for any clear visual problems with the façade. Once the inspection was completed, A&O compiled their findings into a report and submitted them with all photographs taken during the inspection. The project is still ongoing with potential repairs being discussed. Ω
