Universal Engineering Sciences | 35 <br />E. Qualification Information and Assigned Personnel <br />to highway design and construction in those <br />states. Additionally, our engineers have worked on <br />projects ranging from high-rise buildings, industrial <br />developments, and commercial facilities, to solid <br />and hazardous waste landfills and stormwater <br />management systems. <br />LABORATORY SERVICES <br />We understand that both accurate and fast testing <br />is critical to helping our clients achieve their goals. <br />UES has two full-service labs conveniently located <br />near this project. <br />All of our sample results are uploaded by the <br />laboratory managers to track the progress of <br />samples during all steps of sampling, testing and <br />reporting. Utilizing our company-wide server will <br />allows the UES Contract Manager to perform real- <br />time oversight of laboratory testing flow for any <br />sample delivered to our laboratories. Each of our <br />laboratories follows the Quality Systems Manuals <br />and have Quality Assurance oversight by our Quality <br />Systems Manager. <br />With this type of in-house support, UES provides its <br />clients with a multitude of capabilities ranging from <br />preliminary investigations through to final design. <br />EFFICIENT BY DESIGN <br />Field Data Collection (FDC) is proprietary software <br />used by UES technicians to gather testing data. <br />Following a client’s request for service, a work <br />order will immediately be created, and a UES field <br />technician will be scheduled and dispatched to <br />the test site. With the use of remote devices in the <br />field, the information gathered by the technicians <br />is saved and transmitted to our office where, in <br />conjunction with samples taken from the field, lab <br />tests are performed and recorded. The resulting <br />data is uploaded to our dispatch and scheduling <br />application where reports are generated and <br />reviewed by a project manager for quality. Once <br />approved, the reports are then sent electronically to <br />the client. <br />Using soil and groundwater test results, UES’ <br />geotechnical engineers can analyze existing site <br />conditions and provide our clients with safe, cost- <br />effective construction solutions. Our dedication <br />to value engineering techniques, state-of-the-art <br />site exploration, and our extensive exploration <br />database consistently proves to be invaluable in <br />both pre-design and pre-construction planning. The <br />evaluation of the subsurface soils and groundwater <br />conditions is important to the development and <br />design of construction projects as these evaluations <br />confirm the allowable capacities of foundations, <br />settlement potential and groundwater conditions. <br />Also, it is extremely important that the subsurface <br />exploration program evaluates potential site <br />development and long-term performance problems. <br />That way, we can identify cost-effective remediation <br />alternatives for use by other members of the design <br />team. <br />We also provide post-construction settlement <br />investigations. These studies involve the <br />determination of the cause(s) of settlement <br />followed by remedial recommendations. Examples <br />include sinkhole evaluation of commercial and <br />residential structures, and consolidation of organic <br />or soft clay deposits.
