John Stevens
John Stevens was a prominent American civil engineer and the chief engineer of the Panama Canal construction project from 1905 to 1907. He played a crucial role in the canal's development by advocating for the use of a lock system instead of a sea-level canal, which ultimately proved to be a more cost-effective and safer solution. Stevens' innovative approach and effective management helped overcome significant engineering challenges and contributed to the successful completion of the canal in 1914, marking a major achievement in civil engineering and global trade.
