a partnership empowered by data

Discover how Archer United JV ramped up the third largest paving project in South Carolina’s history.

The Partnership

With more than 120 years of combined experience, Archer Western and United Infrastructure Group joined forces to become Archer United JV, taking on the third largest highway project in South Carolina’s history. Both leaders in construction, their combined expertise enable them to take on this $271 million project to widen a 16.9 mile section of I-26 from U.S. 64 in Hendersonville to Brevard Road in Asheville while replacing seven bridges along the I-26 travel corridor. As with all collaborations, being able to effectively communicate is the key to success and Archer United JV is not any different. Being able to streamline a vast amount of data while staying transparent and synchronized is what allowed this partnership to flourish despite an aggressive timeline.
