About Us

Dan Brown and Associates, LLC (DBA) is a consulting engineering firm specializing in geotechnical and foundation engineering, with emphasis on problem solving relating to foundation engineering and slope stability problems.  Dr. Dan Brown, P.E., BC.GE founded DBA in 2004 to serve the niche of deep foundation specialist to designers, contractors, and owners.  We have continued to grow steadily since.  In December of 2022, we became part of the UES family, providing a center of technical expertise in deep foundation design and construction.  Some of our staff are featured below.

The main area of focus for DBA is deep foundation systems – structural elements installed deep into the ground to support structures.  We are sought for our knowledge and expertise with drilled shafts, driven piles, micropiles, augered piles, other deep foundation systems, and ground improvement systems.  Our expertise goes beyond typical geotechnical engineering.  We approach projects as geo-structural problems, and bring constructability considerations into all our design work.
