Past Project Spotlight | Wando-Welch Terminal – Mount Pleasant, SC ⬇️

If you live in Charleston, you’ve likely seen the port’s massive ship-to-shore cranes. In partnership with the South Carolina Ports Authority, SJ Hamill completed the construction of four pile-supported foundations to support their commissioning at the Wando-Welch Terminal.

Highlights from the scope of work:
• Removal of existing concrete pavement and structural excavation
• Installation of 120 HP14x73 piles
• Four reinforced concrete foundations with crane tie-down assemblies
• Over 95% of work self-performed by SJ Hamill
• Coordinated construction within an active Port facility

This project expanded the capacity of one of the busiest container terminals on the East Coast — supporting continued growth and efficiency at the Port of Charleston.
