History

WPC was founded in Charleston, SC on March 31, 1993, by Mr. William (Bill) Wright, P.E., currently serving on the Board of Directors. In November of 1993, Mr. Wright was joined by Mr. William (Reg) Christopher, P.E. Mr. Christopher, senior engineer, became WPC's  President and CEO.

In 2002, Wright Padgett Christopher, Inc. expanded its geographical area by opening full service offices in Myrtle Beach, SC as well as offices in Savannah, GA and Charlotte, NC. During this transition, the firm became an employee owned company and the name was changed to WPC, Inc. to better represent its employee ownership and growing recognition beyond the Charleston area. Wolf Technologies, based in Jacksonville, FL, became a WPC Company in early 2006. WPC recently joined Terracon.  Terracon is one of the nation's largest employee-owned engineering consulting firms with headquarters in Olathe, Kansas.  Terracon has more than 100 offices nationwide and 2,700 employees.
