Dames & Moore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dames & Moore was a global engineering firm headquartered in Los Angeles, California. It was acquired by the URS Corporation over May and June of 1999. By the time of the merger, the Dames & Moore group had a total of 7,800 employees in 30 countries.

Dames & Moore was an early pioneer in geotechnical engineering, performing geotechnical investigations from the early 1940s, though by the time of their acquisition, they had expanded their services across the entire range of civil engineering consulting and design work. D&M engineers developed several sampling techniques and samplers still used today.
