Experience

Decades of Experience

Nelson Engineering provides engineering solutions for federal and commercial clients since 1993. We were founded by Mr. Blain Nelson, P.E. who is a former U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps officer and later worked in the aerospace industry. Our business lines are based on Mr. Nelson’s background and have steadily expanded as new key members joined and brought additional skills aboard. In 2022, we merged with Salas O’Brien to expand our reach to new clients and market sectors.
