Retrofit Engineering – Methods & Project Types

Over the past 50 years, Orbital has successfully completed more than 20,000 retrofit engineering projects for heavy industry. These retrofit engineering projects have been performed to: repair corroded, deteriorated or damaged structures, equipment or systems to their original strength or condition; or, add new components or equipment to improve performance or safety features. These retrofit projects have been both large and small; however, even the smaller projects need expertise and attention to detail with regards to collecting and assessing accurate field data, and designing upgrades to accommodate existing components, space constraints and operational restrictions.
