He has also participated in the analysis, presentation, and resolution of construction claims on
many international projects including a U.S. Embassy, lock and dam systems, interstate
roadways, bridges, resorts, oil platforms, and entertainment facilities.
His training and experience in the fields of architecture and engineering, combined with natural
artistic talents, make Mr. Brouse an innovative designer and a cost conscious project manager.
These skills are ideal for planning, analyzing, and presenting complex concepts in the
boardroom, courtroom, zoning and planning board meeting, or through Internet communications.
During his internship, Mr. Brouse performed analysis as a Geotechnical Engineer for SITE-Blauvelt
Engineers, Inc. He was also a Construction Inspector and Field Engineer at one time. Thus, Mr.
Brouse is well versed in soils, exploratory drilling, deep drilled and driven foundations, shallow
foundations, structural geology, geophysical explorations, pre-stressed concrete, post-tensioned
concrete, cast-in-place concrete, asphaltic concrete, masonry, structural steel, roofing systems,
and finish coatings. Mr. Brouse also edited and managed the metrication and re-write of several
PADOT geotechnical manuals, while working with SITE-Blauvelt Engineers.
Mr. Brouse then spent several years working with Trauner Consulting Services, and Capital Project
Management, Inc. where he gained an in-depth knowledge of forensic engineering, CPM scheduling,
and construction claims analysis. His services were then utilized by Associated Engineering
Consultants, Inc. where Mr. Brouse worked in the structural engineering department. This allowed
him to gain a detailed understanding of wood construction, structural steel systems, composite
concrete/steel slabs, cast-in-place structural concrete structures, masonry structures, foundation
systems, and vertical/lateral load analysis.
Since founding Alta Design Associates, Inc. in 1998, Mr. Brouse has been using his education and
practical experience to prepare architectural and civil engineering designs to prepare drawings and
reports for projects including but not limited to: new homes, residential additions, commercial
