LOS ANGELES (June 9, 2017) \u2014 AECOM, a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure firm, announced today that it has been chosen by the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) to provide detailed design services for the new Hugh K. Leatherman, Sr. Container Terminal at the Port of Charleston.<\/p>\n
\u201cExtending AECOM\u2019s dedication to delivering a better world and continuing to grow its port presence in the Carolinas, this design work will facilitate development of North America\u2019s newest and most advanced container terminal,\u201d said Tim Keener, executive vice president and general manager of AECOM\u2019s Southeast region.<\/p>\n
