We're ROLLING into Friday to celebrate National Pi Day, and the biggest, little number in the business!

"Adopt-A-Floor" Charity Drive

2025-01-16T14:28:00.003-06:00

Michael Baker International’s Ridgeland, Mississippi, office (home of our LiDAR Center of Excellence since 1997), participated in the Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital's “Adopt-A-Floor” program at the University Medical Center in Jackson.

The program collects donated snacks to help families whose children are hospitalized for extended periods of time. The snacks allow family members to stay near their children and offer support while they are away from the comforts of home. Through the program, hospital staff distribute approximately 350 snacks per floor each week.

HELLO 2025!

With new equipment, expanding AI solutions, and big projects, we're looking forward to an AMAZING 2025!

Stay tuned for our latest adventures.
Happy New Year!

Kebede Serving on NCHRP 10-146 Panel

2024-09-03T14:47:00.002-05:00

Congratulations to Nathan Kebede, P.E., National Practice Lead – Pavement Services, from Michael Baker International’s Austin, Texas, office, who was recently selected to serve as a panelist for the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 10-146: Development of Quality Control and Quality Assurance System for Traffic Speed Deflection Devices (TSDD).

The objective of the proposed research is to develop a reliable procedure to ensure the quality of pavement structural assessments with TSDD devices. The use of TSDD is an emerging technology for pavement evaluation and pavement management, and Michael Baker is one of the earliest firms to leverage this technology for clients.

The NCHRP is a national research program carried out through the collaborative efforts of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM), and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Created in 1962 to conduct research in acute problem areas that affect highway planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance nationwide, the NCHRP is administered by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and sponsored by the individual state DOTs of the AASHTO in cooperation with the FHWA.

The Three Sisters

2024-05-31T09:31:00.004-05:00

As part of a large engineering firm that is Ranked #4 in the nation for Bridges, our LiDAR Center of Excellence is afforded amazing opportunities to collaborate on Signature projects and drive innovation at a national level.

The Three Sisters Bridges in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, also known as the Roberto Clemente (Sixth Street), the Andy Warhol (Seventh Street), and the Rachel Carson (Ninth Street) Bridges, Rehabilitation Project is featured in the latest issue of Roads and Bridges, the industry resource for the road and bridge construction market.

The Three Sisters Bridges make up the only trio of identical, side-by-side bridges in the world and are the first self-anchored suspension bridges constructed in the United States. Michael Baker International provided preliminary engineering, final design and construction-phase services for the rehabilitation of each of the 90-year old historic bridges – owned and maintained by Allegheny County. The team approached the rehabilitation of each structure separately as each had its own needs and posed its own challenges. The designers combined recognition of historical significance with modern engineering practices to complete a structurally superior, sustainable rehabilitation project.
