The business that is Signature Science today originated as the Special Environmental Services Unit of the Radian Corporation located in Austin, Texas. Starting in 1991, this business unit’s staff established themselves as national experts in technical services related to measurement of signatures in the environment. In March 2001, Signature Science, LLC was founded by an employee-organized buyout of Radian’s Special Environmental Services business unit from the URS Corporation. Signature Science was established as a subsidiary of the Southwest Research Institute® and remains so today. Since our founding of the firm in 2001, we have greatly expanded our client base, technical offerings, and capabilities.
