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 a famous historic bridge with a striking red brick arch. The bridge was designed by Biltmore architect Richard Morris Hunt and was featured in The Last of the Mohicans. A&O continues to preform structural condition assessments for the Bass Pond bridge and three additional bridges, helping to preserve the bridge for future generations.
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
