Who We Are
Founded in Arizona in 1980, Speedie has delivered trusted geotechnical engineering, environmental services, and construction materials testing for more than four decades. Today, we proudly operate under the UES banner, bringing expanded resources, national collaboration, and enhanced capabilities. Remaining true to our core, we continue to uphold the values that Jim Speedie and Henrietta Speedie infused from the beginning: integrity, accountability, and a commitment to doing the work right.
Since our inception, we have supported thousands of clients across Arizona. This success enabled our once-small firm to grow from our Phoenix headquarters to offices in Flagstaff, Tucson, and Show Low. While our footprint has expanded, our Arizona roots remain strong.

Our expertise, specialized equipment, and deep technical knowledge allow us to deliver practical, cost-effective solutions for projects of all sizes. These capabilities are further supported by long-standing relationships with local, county, and state regulatory agencies across Arizona, helping our clients navigate complex requirements and maintain project momentum.
As part of the UES family of companies, we continue to grow, guided by a clearly defined set of values that serve as our north star. These values, summarized by STRIVE, reflect who we are and how we work: Safety, Teamwork, Responsiveness, Integrity, Value, and Excellence.
