The failure of the world’s largest engineered slope a year ago at Charleston’s Yeager Airport has generated widespread speculation from the international engineering community because of the scale of construction and the numerous prizes for design the project had garnered, says Chrys Steiakakis, a geotechnical engineer at Geosysta Ltd., Attiki, Greece.
Though Charleston’s manufacturing sector has been growing for years, it’s just now “beginning to hit a major stride,” says LS3P’s Marchant, citing recently planned investments by Daimler and Volvo.
