Business Verticals

Structured to Meet Your Needs

Michael Baker is organized into four distinct verticals, each tailored to comprehensively address the holistic needs of our clients.

Infrastructure

Michael Baker offers a diverse array of infrastructure services that are crucial for the development and upkeep of the built environment. With Practices spanning key areas of infrastructure, we collaborate with clients on a wide range of projects, including roads, bridges, tunnels, mass transit systems, airports, water treatment plants, arctic oil pipelines, environmental restoration and specialized overseas construction. Our holistic approach to infrastructure services ensures that each project adheres to the highest standards of quality and performance. By supporting the built environment, we contribute to the creation of safer, more accessible, more sustainable and more prosperous communities.

Integrated Design and Advisory

Our Integrated Design and Advisory (IDA) business vertical brings together architecture, engineering and strategic advisory expertise to deliver innovative, end-to-end solutions that align seamlessly with our clients’ business and project goals. We deliver projects worldwide, serving clients across diverse sectors, such as industrial, defense, data centers, aerospace, life sciences, healthcare, higher education, aviation, rail and transit and the federal government.

Our advisory capabilities empower clients with resilience-focused strategies and comprehensive support throughout every stage of the project life cycle. Services include operational continuity and energy resilience; strategic consulting and master planning; cybersecurity and building controls; cost management and commissioning; program management and construction support; building information modeling (BIM) and digital twins; and emergency response and disaster recovery.

GovTech

Our GovTech vertical empowers governments to deliver smarter, faster and more accessible public services. This includes digital government solutions for recovery, logistics, emergency management and improved efficiency offered through our affiliate companies.

This includes digital government solutions by AstreaX, encompassing cloud-based software for digital identity, digital wallet and other services and public safety solutions through DATAMARK Technologies, such as next-generation 9-1-1 software, indoor mapping, digital twins and school safety solutions. Tidal Basin Group offers a range of tech-enabled solutions, including grant, case and debris management software and support, SaaS and COTS consulting, and custom technology solutions and software for infrastructure and cybersecurity hardening and disaster recovery planning. By integrating advanced technologies, we help bridge the digital divide, enhance emergency response capabilities and provide comprehensive support for government modernization efforts.

Mitigation, Environmental, Response, Recovery & Resiliency (MER3)

Michael Baker’s MER3 business vertical delivers integrated solutions across the full resilience life cycle, helping communities, government agencies and critical infrastructure owners plan, mobilize, recover and strengthen for what comes next. We bring a single accountable team that connects risk and mitigation planning, funding and compliance, design and engineering, environmental services, construction and construction management, and technology-enabled delivery so clients can move from strategy to execution faster and with greater confidence.

MER3 is powered by Michael Baker and our companies, Tidal Basin Group and MLU Services, operating together as one united team. We rapidly mobilize for contingency operations and logistics, sustain field operations at scale and stay through recovery with program leadership, grants and program management, as well as long‑term resilience investments. Our efforts are backed by seamless collaboration across Michael Baker’s Infrastructure, Integrated Design and Advisory and GovTech verticals.
