The mission at Baker Engineering and Risk Consultants, Inc. (BakerRisk®) is to manage hazards and risks through high-value services, products, and research. The BakerRisk® Protective Structures Section completes this mission through the evaluation and design of structures exposed to extreme loading conditions such as blast, thermal, and high-velocity impacts. We design buildings to protect people in potentially hazardous working environments, design manufacturing bays to contain the effects of accidental explosions and collaborate with government agencies to design spaces to protect occupants from potential hostile threats. Our design and evaluation approaches continue to be validated and expanded through research, testing, and the investigation of catastrophic events such as explosions, fires, and toxic material releases.

BakerRisk® operates two test facilities in Texas, the Wilfred E. Baker Test Facility and Box Canyon Test Facility, where both scale and full-scale testing of building structures can be completed. BakerRisk® has a collaborative work environment where coordination with other technical disciplines at BakerRisk®, Process Safety and Blast Effects, is encouraged to develop a solution to manage hazards and risk.
