On a recent trip to South Carolina, while strolling through Charleston’s Historic District, I came across the beautiful Charleston County Courthouse, a building that is still in use today. More than 230 years after James Hoban, architect of the White House, helped rebuild it following the fire of 1788, it continues to serve its original purpose while preserving its architectural heritage.

At Hill Engineers, Architects, Planners, Inc., we’re always inspired by buildings that preserve history while continuing to serve the communities they were built for. If you’re ever in Charleston, this working courthouse is well worth a visit.

🌿 Survey Season = Tick Season 🌿

Our civil and land surveying crews spend countless hours outdoors helping projects take shape across the region. From wooded property lines to overgrown project sites, they’re often working in prime tick habitat.

A few simple precautions can help reduce the risk of tick bites:

✔ Wear long sleeves and pants when possible
✔ Use EPA-approved insect repellents
✔ Stay on cleared paths when practical
✔ Perform thorough tick checks after field work
✔ Shower and change clothing promptly after returning home

Some essential oils, including cedarwood, citronella, peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, and lemon, are often used as natural deterrents, though they should not replace proven tick-prevention methods.

As we head into the busiest months of the field season, a reminder to all outdoor workers: stay aware, stay protected, and stay safe.

Nature is the original designer—master architect, structural engineer, and civil planner. The best projects don’t conquer the landscape; they work with it.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe believed in harmonizing nature, architecture, and human life, aiming for a higher unity. This philosophy is evident in his designs, such as the Farnsworth House, where expansive glass walls blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, integrating the structure with its natural surroundings. Mies van der Rohe's approach promotes a seamless connection between human dwellings and the environment, fostering a sense of tranquility and unity with nature.

As promised, here are a few photos from the ribbon-cutting celebration—and even they don’t fully capture the energy and excitement of the event.

This milestone represents more than a building expansion. It reflects a continued investment in advanced manufacturing, innovation, and the future of the region’s economy. We are proud to have supported Weidmann throughout this project and to have collaborated with the many partners who helped bring this vision to life.

Congratulations to the entire Weidmann team and everyone involved in making this achievement possible. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this investment will have for years to come and are grateful to have played a role in helping it reach this moment.
