Dave Salter

Principal / Sr. Project Manager

Dr. Dave Salter, a founding principal at Slope Remediation Services, has over 40 years of specialized experience in earth retention, specialty foundation and landslide remediation projects across the USA and Europe. In 2009, Dr. Salter founded DRS Engineering Inc., where he continues to consult, on the design of complex slope remediation projects in Southern California. In 2023 Dr. Salter recognized that great designs were only one part of the slope remediation puzzle. Selecting and managing the correct team of geologists, geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, permit expediters, inspectors and contractors was critical to ensure a satisfactory outcome of any project. However, these tasks are often extremely challenging for clients with little experience in these issues and therefore Dr. Salter created Slope Remediation Services Inc. to provide critical project management assistance to clients navigating this challenging process.

Dr. Salter s also a regular speaker at industry seminars and serves as an expert witness on earth retention and foundation system cases.
