The Wilson T. Ballard

The Wilson T. Ballard Company was founded in April 1948 by Wilson T. Ballard, Sr., following 32 years in the practice of civil engineering, including eight as the Chief Engineer of the Maryland State Roads Commission. Over the past sixty years, the Company has provided consulting civil engineering services, with an emphasis in the planning and design of highways, bridges, water distribution, sewage collection and related facilities. In addition to staying abreast of the latest changes in engineering technology, we have also expanded our services to address society's changing priorities, so that we now also provide services related to environmental issues such as wetlands, stream restoration, air quality, and noise abatement. However, several factors, closely interwoven, have remained constant over the years: direct management of all projects by an officer or associate of the Company, a desire to design projects that will improve the community, and long-term relationships with both our clients and our employees. Our work has been primarily for government agencies within the Mid-Atlantic region, and more than 95% or our work is for previous clients. Over 40% of our employees have been with the Company more than ten years.
