OUR STORY

humble beginnings

Founded in 2002, we started as a small local surveying firm in the Harrisburg, PA region. Over the years, we’ve grown into a multi-disciplinary engineering powerhouse with over 30 dedicated professionals, including 11 licensed experts. We offer a comprehensive range of services—from geospatial and civil engineering to water/wastewater and geotechnical services. In 2018, Doug Allwein, PLS acquired the company, renaming it to Honor Engineer Company in 2020, proudly leading it as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Today, our headquarters in Harrisburg is complemented by branch offices in Pittsburgh and Douglassville, PA, both opened in 2024. We’ve built strong relationships with our partners and clients across federal, state, and local markets, serving sectors such as healthcare, recreation, and correctional facilities throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, with the capability to perform nationwide. Our commitment to quality, ethics, and honor defines every project we undertake.

Community Impact  

Gather with Honor

Gather with Honor, a 501(c)(19) Veterans Organization, aims to reunite veterans with their battle buddies.  It will fund airfare, lodging, and host events for veterans across the country.  Gather with Honor feels that the reunions will prove to veterans that they are not alone, and that those with whom they served are facing the same issues.  We believe that this will continue the comradery and aid in the mental well-being of the veterans which we serve.  If nothing else, it will bring smiles to their faces as they reminisce about the old times.
