Mission, Vision, and Values In the early 1980s, the growth of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta regions created an urgent need for a greater concentration of construction engineering expertise, prompting esteemed engineers Tom Wallace, Doug Kuhl, and Charles Van Alstine to establish Wallace-Kuhl & Associates in 1984. Tom Wallace regarded engineering as the discipline of “adapting the creations of mankind to the forces of nature.” That view, as reverential as it is pragmatic, became the guiding philosophy that Wallace-Kuhl has embraced since its inception. Now that Wallace-Kuhl has joined the UES family of companies, the firm takes on a new mission that aligns with the national, industry-leading company. UES strives to become the most sought-after, respected, and successful engineering firm in the country by making notable contributions to the industry and the communities in which we live and work. To do so, UES provides the highest quality geotechnical engineering services, built on our strong foundation of deep industry expertise, trusted relationships, superior customer service and agility, and a reputation for safety and quality to ensure the success of its clients and the national growth of the business. "Adapting the creations of mankind to the forces of nature."
