50th Anniversary of Orbital Engineering, Inc.
On March 14, 1969, Orbital Engineering, Inc. was launched with a simple message to its first clients:
Let us help you make your facilities safer
50 years later, with over 300 employees across six corporate offices and additional client-site locations, we have the same fundamental belief – safer is better. While our business has evolved in ways we could never have imagined, our core beliefs, customer-first focus and creative approach to problem solving have stayed the same. Whether we are using advanced robotics for inspections services, designing software and applications or responding to on-site emergencies, Orbital Engineering, Inc. looks forward to the next 50 years of serving our clients.

Featured Project
69kV/12kV Substation Rebuild
Orbital provided the engineering services required for an upgrade to an existing substation 69kV substation. The existing substation had two incoming 69kV feeds, two 28 MVA transformers, two outdoor 1200A transformer secondary breakers, and six outdoor 800A reclosers. Rather than maintain the existing outdoor design, the upgraded station included a new double ended switchgear.
2019 ASCE Meeting
Orbital Hammond office civil and structural group was in attendance at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Northwest Indiana branch fall members meeting at Purdue University Northwest. New branch officers were installed, and Engineers from Porter County...
Orbital Engineering, Inc. is proud to be certified as a veteran owned business. Orbital Engineering, Inc. is certified by the National Veteran Business Development Council. Because the existing Federal Government CVE Veteran Owned Business Certification only covers small businesses, medium and large businesses are left with no acceptable mechanism for establishing bona fide veteran owned business status. Thus, the National Veteran Business Development Council was created for the purpose of providing a credible and reliable certifying authority that would ensure that valid documentation exists of a business’ Veteran ownership and control.
