Michael Baker International services

Baker seamlessly integrates architecture, planning, landscape architecture, engineering and management. Internationally recognized with a portfolio spanning nearly half a century, the team provides excellence in solutions: superior technical ability, creative design and collaborative integration.

Successful aviation infrastructure projects demand expertise in planning and design, and program and construction management—the ability to “build it and build it well,” within budget and on schedule. For more than 70 years, Baker has provided these core services to aviation clients worldwide.

Baker has proudly supported the United States military since the 1940s, providing world-class environmental, architectural and engineering services to Department of Defense (DoD) clients spanning the globe. We understand the culture and know the demands facing installation and mission commanders in today’s difficult environment.

For more than two decades, Baker has helped public and private sector clients develop intelligent environmental solutions that positively impact the bottom line, while reducing risk and future environmental liabilities. Now more than ever, clients require process improvement and innovative programmatic solutions in addition to technical solutions. Baker routinely provides complete environmental life-cycle services, in part or whole, from permitting for new infrastructure to restoration.

Baker is a national leader in implementing complex enterprise geospatial information technology (GIT) solutions and applying advanced mapping systems for public and private sector clients including telecommunications, pipelines and transportation. With more than 60 years of expertise, Baker has mapped millions of square miles of the earth’s surface while supporting engineering and construction, water resources and environmental programs. More recently, Baker has expanded its capability through an innovative Aerial and Mobile LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems that accurately determines range, elevation, and other critical mapping data. With hundreds of GIS, survey, mapping and IT professionals in Geospatial Service Centers across North America, Baker is a GIT powerhouse of experience and resources.

Protecting our nation`s safety and security is a constant challenge. As the Global War on Terror is continuously shifting battlefields and natural disasters strike without mercy, the Homeland Security sector must respond with matching ingenuity and flexibility. They must incorporate a multidisciplinary approach, considering the vulnerabilities of both our hard and soft infrastructures and citizens. Thorough protection must extend from a community’s evacuation and disaster planning procedures to the security of data transfer through critical networks.

Michael Baker Jr. founded a company in 1940 based on a vision of client service and innovation. Our municipal engineering services group has been responding to that vision since the Company’s inception.We understand that providing municipal services to the public is both important and valuable. Our in-house expertise is broad and able to respond to the various engineering and consulting needs associated with municipalities. Roadway design, stormwater management, potable water treatment and delivery, andwastewater collection and treatment are a sample of the services we have provided to our valuedmunicipal clients,many of which we have continuously served for more than 40 years.

For more than 60 years, from surveying and permitting natural gas gathering pipeline systems to designing the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, Baker has delivered exceptional services to the oil and gas industry. Today, Baker is still involved in pipeline projects to move gas from Alaska’s North Slope and in meeting the complete engineering and construction services needs of producers and midstream operators in the Lower-48 shale basins, particularly the Marcellus Shale region. Baker`s ability to address the complete project life cycle requirements of the energy pipeline operator distinguishes us from our competitors. We know how to leverage the diverse skill sets of our engineering professionals to provide maximum value to our clients. Our unique strength is in developing experienced, solid fundamental design solutions that are reliable, effective and tailored to the client`s particular project needs, schedule, and budget.

As a leader in planning across the nation, Baker provides expertise in the many complex aspects of Planning and Urban Design. Serving clients and communities to create places that sustain the future, planners work closely with governmental agencies, stakeholders, organizations, leaders and the public to identify, define and accomplish their mission.

Today, both public and private transportation demands are increasing at an unparalleled pace. Whether moving people or freight, solutions applied to current and future projects will be framed by rising energy prices, the cost and world demand for construction materials, and growing sustainability and environmental concerns. Baker’s approach to helping rail and transit clients meet these challenges is changing as well, with viable solutions for planning, designing, constructing, operating, financing and sustaining modern mobility infrastructure that leverages modern technologies.
