Regional manager and professional engineer-diver, Infrastructure Engineers Inc.
Most people drive across the Cooper River bridge without a second thought as to what could be happening underneath it. But Jeff Rowe knows all about the part of the bridge that is underwater.
As an engineer-diver, Rowe provides above- and below-water structural inspections for clients around the world, including in Hawaii, Alaska and Cuba.
Rowe has been conducting underwater inspections of bridges across the state of South Carolina for nearly 10 years. He may be the only engineer who has dived to the bottom and climbed to the top of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.
Rowe has always enjoyed math and science, and has been diving since he was a child.
“Today, I combine my three passions, management, engineering and diving, to lead and participate in providing underwater structural inspections for clients around the world.”
An Eagle Scout, he volunteers with a local Cub Scout pack and serves on the boards of Legacy Home School Group and the Society of American Military Engineers. Rowe is director of the mid-level designers for the American Council of Engineering Companies of South Carolina and is a provisional elder with Providence Presbyterian Church in Mount Pleasant.
