ABOUT

Helping communities and organizations build a stronger tomorrow

HomeAbout

We are practical, experienced, and embrace change. We listen, help guide your program, and quickly take action to make you stronger. We help people prevent, prepare for, respond to and build back with greater resilience from emergencies and disasters.

Plan, fund, build and recover – end-to-end resilience delivery

Engineering critical infrastructure from concept to delivery

Integrated building design, protection and advisory for smarter, secure buildings

Digital transformation engineered for security, performance and trust

We exist to help communities, agencies, and critical infrastructure partners prepare for, respond to, recover from, and strengthen resilience to disasters and disruptions. Today, we deliver that promise as one united team, combining Tidal Basin Group, MLU Services, and Michael Baker International to bring the full resilience lifecycle under one roof.

That means clients can move from strategy to execution faster: aligning planning, funding, and compliance with engineering and design, program delivery, contingency operations and logistics, and technologyenabled tools that improve visibility and decision-making. When urgency is high, we mobilize quickly. When complexity is high, we integrate disciplines and stay accountable through closeout so recovery holds up to scrutiny and communities rebuild stronger.

Our values guide how we show up because the work is personal, the stakes are real, and outcomes matter.

One United Team: We align across disciplines to deliver as one.

Client and Community First: We prioritize people, trust, and outcomes.

Own the Outcome: We take accountability from kickoff through closeout.

Move with Speed: We mobilize quickly and remove barriers to progress.

Build for Resilience: We reduce risk and strengthen long-term capacity.

Innovate with Purpose: We apply technology and new ideas where they matter most.

Who we are

Our team has decades of experience and offers innovative and effective solutions to help organizations and communities prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate natural and human-made disasters.
