Detroit, MI
The Orbital Engineering Detroit District Office has been in existence since 2008. Originally set up to serve the needs of a resurgence in the Metals and Mining markets in Detroit and Canada, this office now also serves the needs of clients in the Utilities market as well as those in the Chemical, Refinery and Petrochemical markets. We serve these clients from our Detroit office locally and reach areas in Michigan and Ohio. The Detroit District Office serves Orbital Engineering’s Michigan and Ohio customers with local technical staff, along with Project Management staff who coordinate services provided by our appropriate Subject Matter Experts from other Orbital offices. This way we can serve the multi-discipline engineering project needs and demanding inspection program requirements of our clients.
Our Office
Our office consists of experienced Civil/Structural Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, and Design/Drafting support, as well as seasoned inspectors who support our clients’ Asset Integrity Programs. We also have an experienced Asset Integrity Manager who is our local drone pilot, certified to FAA Part 107.
