An excerpt from my recent profile of Alliance Consulting Engineers.  The full version is available at MidlandsBiz.

"Every child is born an engineer," says Deepal Eliatamby. "Before most of us can even walk, our parents are buying us blocks and tinker toys that we're using to build things."

Eliatamby, president of Alliance Consulting Engineers, has never lost that fascination with or passion for building. But beyond the infrastructure such as water systems, wastewater systems, stormwater systems, solid waste management systems and roads, his company works on, Eliatamby believes his work is really about building something bigger: a brighter, more prosperous future for the Palmetto State.
