What Orion Technical Services does

Orion Technical Services, LLC is a privately held electrical power-system engineering firm headquartered at 43 Freemansville Rd, Reading, Pennsylvania. The company provides specialized engineering services to electric utilities, independent power producers, and industrial/manufacturing clients across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States (with project footprints documented in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky, Florida, and Virginia). Founded circa 2001-2010 (sources conflict on the exact year), Orion operates as a small LLC with 11-50 employees anchored by two named Principal Engineers — Thomas H. Groscup, PE (20 years of experience) and Steven D. King, PE (25 years) — and a broader project team that collectively holds over 100 years of combined experience in electric utility engineering studies, design, operation, and maintenance.

Core offerings span substation design, relay and control system design, SCADA development, transmission and distribution line design, in-house relay panel construction and testing, and a full suite of engineering studies including load flow, short circuit, protective device coordination, and planning analyses. The firm also distributes a portfolio of nine proprietary web-based engineering calculators (complex number, symmetrical components, transformer short circuit, phasor & power, impedance-to-time-overcurrent, arc resistance, per-unit, per-unit base converter, and bus span & deflection) targeted at relay and protection engineers. Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services engagements, with no public pricing, no recurring contracts disclosed, and no intermediated distribution channels. Marketing is reputation-based and direct, relying on word-of-mouth within the utility and industrial customer base, with the company website serving primarily as an informational and contact resource.
