YPS Team Overcomes $85 Million Charleston Manufacturing Plant Challenges Heather Seftel-Kirk, South Carolina Construction News The construction of a 409 ft. tower for the Nexans’ extra high voltage cable manufacturing plant in Charleston is now complete thanks to the work of an experienced con- struction team, under the direction of Greenville, SC-based general contractor Yeargin Potter Shackelford (YPS). The tower is the hub of the extrusion process and pivotal for the entire operation. This milestone is the first step to- wards the completion of the state-of-the-art operation by 2014. The $85 million project at the Bushy Park Industrial Com- plex has provided opportunity for the Carolinas’ construc- tion industry and will create 200 new jobs when it opens.
