Company History

VEI was founded in 1981 in Valdez, Alaska. It was incorporated under the name Valdez Engineering. The firm had three original partners with offices in Valdez and Palmer. In 1985 Valdez Engineering joined forces with Entech Engineers owned by Vern Roelfs and an Eagle River office was added. In the late 1980's Valdez Engineering consolidated its operation to a single office in Anchorage with two partners, Robert Eder and Vern Roelfs. In 2003 Mr. Eder retired to part-time status. In 2020, remaining partner, Vern Roelfs, retired to part-time status and turned operations over to sons Scott Roelfs and Eric Roelfs. VEI's main office is located in Anchorage near the intersection of Bragaw and DeBarr, where it has been for the past 30+ years.
