South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) | Wando Welch Traffic Flow Improvements
Patrick constructed the phase 1 traffic flow improvements at the Wando Welch Terminal operated by the South Carolina Port Authority (SCPA). The traffic flow improvements included the addition of extra outbound lanes to the facility and a number of other optimizations to improve the flow of the over 6,000 trucks traveling through the facility each day. Patrick constructed concrete and asphalt pavement, outbound lane structures, foundations, and electrical/security infrastructure.
