TAI, WBCM expand services with merger

A recent merger is creating new opportunities for TAI Construction to provide a broader range of services to a longer list of clients.

The company was formed through the merger of WBCM Construction with the construction management division of TAI, an Owings Mills-based engineering firm.

Principals of the two companies, which had worked together on projects for more than a decade, realized a merger could create significant growth potential.

“The type of engineering they do is a great fit for the type of construction we do,” said Mike Baker, former President of WBCM Construction and now President of TAI Construction. “By bringing these two businesses together we become a powerhouse in the industrial construction field.”

The merger expands TAI’s ability to deliver design-build and general contracting services across multiple markets, including industrial, food and beverage, chemical processing, pharmaceutical and life sciences, advanced manufacturing, power generation, commercial, government and mission critical.

The new company which is headquartered in Baltimore and has access to TAI offices across the country, can also expand services to clients through TAI’s other divisions. They include specialty construction and inhouse rosters of electricians, ironworkers and pipefitters.
