Rock Hill– Triplett-King & Associates, Inc., a consulting engineering firm (www.triplettking.com), today announced the celebration of 10 years in business.

Since 1997, Triplett-King has evolved from a local engineering firm, offering structural engineering, to a thriving business offering comprehensive engineering services including: highway and railroad bridge design, roadway design, construction inspection, material testing, design-build and value-engineering, intelligent transportation systems inspection and maintenance, utility coordination, and structural engineering services.

“What started out 10 years ago in a one man office out of United Contractors, Inc. in Chester, SC has steadily grown into a business far exceeding our expectations,” said Merritt King, P.E., co-founder and President. “We are all very proud of this accomplishment and grateful to our clients, contractors, and employees who helped us get here.”

Triplett-King & Associates was founded in July 1997 by entrepreneur, Jim Triplett, P.E. and Merritt King, P.E. Both founders brought their own unique talent to the table: Jim Triplett brought his bridge construction, value-engineering and design-build innovative ideas and Merritt King provided bridge engineering, sales and marketing savvy.

Since its founding, Triplett-King’s staff has grown to 40 employees with offices in Rock Hill, Columbia, Aiken, and Charleston and has successfully completed over 250 transportation design and inspection projects just in the last ten years. Triplett-King has contracted with and performed work for South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Georgia Department of Transportation (GaDOT), Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), local municipalities, and private clients including developers, contractors, and other engineering firms. Triplett-King specializes in design of fast track, design-build and cost saving solutions to bridge projects throughout the Southeast.

Jim Triplett added, “During our 10-year life span, our focus on client service has never wavered. We employ seasoned professionals and we are able to deliver innovative and timely solutions again and again. We very much look forward to the next 10 years.”
