UES Expands Geotechnical Expertise with Acquisition of Riner Engineering

HOUSTON, TX — UES, a national engineering and consulting company, acquires Riner Engineering, a geotechnical engineering and construction materials testing and inspection firm headquartered in Houston, Texas.

Founded in 2006, Riner Engineering includes an experienced team of more than 170 engineers, project managers, technicians, and support staff based in offices in the Houston headquarters, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas. Riner maintains full-service soil and CMT laboratories accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation and by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.

Riner joins the Texas Region of UES, led by Brian Powell, P.E., President of the Texas Region. Riners’ leadership team will continue to operate the day-to-day business.

“We’re proud to announce the expansion of our presence and technical expertise in Texas,” said UES CEO Dave Witsken. “Texas is a leading market for infrastructure development in the U.S., and we believe UES will be better able to serve the growing market and provide enhanced services, solutions, and support to our clients with the addition of the Riner Engineering team.”

“With this partnership, we at Riner can improve our ability to provide top-of-the-line geotechnical engineering and materials testing services with access to more personnel, more equipment, and more capabilities," said Ken Riner, P.E., President of Riner Engineering. "Working in UES and UES’ Texas Region allows Riner to continue performing at the highest levels of our chosen engineering specialties, with top-quality people and a wider range of tools.”
