Strategic merger Leverage Wallace-Kuhl’s merger with Universal Engineering Sciences to position as part of a broader national engineering network, offering integrated geotechnical, environmental, and building sciences services that can scale across regions for larger projects.

Civil engineering niche Target mid-sized infrastructure and construction projects in Northern California that require geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, environmental health and safety, and building science expertise to complement the client’s project delivery.

SMB to local emphasis Highlight Wallace-Kuhl’s strong local presence with 11-50 employees, labs in Stockton, and West Sacramento operations to win regional projects where accessibility, rapid response, and local knowledge drive value.

Tech adoption Position the company’s use of Business Catalyst and its access to UES’s national resources as a differentiator for data-driven testing, project reporting, and cross-project knowledge sharing to improve efficiency and quality.

Growth and capacity Identify opportunities to upsell expanded services from the current portfolio (geotechnical, earthwork, testing, environmental, safety, and building sciences) to larger, more complex engagements that capitalize on UES’s nationwide footprint and broader service line.
