Company Snapshot
Welcome to United Consulting! We provide consulting, inspection, testing, and monitoring services to public and private clients across America. United Consulting has completed more than 25,000 projects since our founding in 1990. We specialize in earth sciences, including geotechnical engineering; environmental and ecological services; geophysical services, and subsurface utility engineering as well as construction materials testing, and inspection services.
CLIENT-FIRST CULTURE
We approach each new assignment with our client’s best interests always top-of-mind, knowing that the reason United Consulting is in business is to solve their pressing problems, to mitigate project risk and uncertainty, and to get their projects out of the ground on time and on budget. Together since our founding over 30 years ago, United Consulting’s executive leadership has instilled this client-first mindset in our technical leaders who themselves average 20 years of service with the firm. Our leaders have baked this philosophy into our work culture, supported by quality control procedures that guide our more than 140 professional staff.
We maintain three levels of accountability and oversight on every project to assure successful delivery: task managers who focus on project execution including testing and fieldwork; project managers who lead our engineers, inspectors, and technicians assigned to their projects, carefully reviewing their work; and whose work is in-turn evaluated by the project Principal-In-Charge, whose aim is for flawless outcomes, and who serves as clients’ main point of contact.
