The Charleston International Airport Expansion in North Charleston, South Carolina, is part of a major initiative to accommodate the region’s rapidly growing passenger traffic. The project enhances terminal capacity, expands airside infrastructure, and improves overall efficiency to better support both commercial aviation and regional economic development. With increased gate capacity, modernized facilities, and upgraded utility and structural components, the expansion strengthens the airport’s ability to serve as a key transportation hub in the Southeast.
Beyond capacity upgrades, the expansion focuses on long-term durability and operational resilience. Critical structural supports, specialty foundations, and heavy-duty anchoring systems are integral to ensuring the facility can withstand demanding aviation-related loads and environmental conditions. The improvements are designed to help the airport meet future service demands while maintaining safety, reliability, and operational excellence for decades to come.
For this expansion, Portland Bolt supplied large, custom-size anchor bolt assemblies engineered to meet the significant structural requirements of the facility. The assemblies included domestically manufactured, hot-dip galvanized F1554 Grade 55 anchor rods along with matching heavy hex nuts, hardened washers, and square anchor plates to create complete, ready-to-install hardware packages suited for high‑load structural applications. In total, more than 8,000 pounds of product were shipped to support the project.
