In 1913, upon graduation from Tulane University, T. Baker Smith, C.E., returned to his home in Terrebonne Parish to begin his professional career as a civil engineer. Today, Kenneth Wm. Smith, P.E., P.L.S. is unwavering in his dedication to carrying on the tradition begun by his grandfather and developed by his father, Wm. Clifford Smith, P.E., P.L.S. (Clifford). As president of the civil engineering firm that bears his grandfather's name – T. Baker Smith, LLC (TBS) – his aspiration is to provide superior, integrated, professional solutions across a broad spectrum of markets in multiple geographic regions. Between 1913 and 2013, TBS developed and grew from a one man surveying and civil engineering operation "into one of the top 500 engineering, architectural, and environmental design firms in the United States," according to Engineering News Record magazine. Baker's appreciation for the community and the outdoors motivated him to help build the early infrastructure in the southeast region of Louisiana, which included construction management of roads, bridges, and utilities systems. He became an expert at the accurate reconstruction of U. S. government surveys, dating back to the late 1800s, along the south Louisiana coast between the Mississippi and the Atchafalaya rivers. He forged ties to the oil industry that have sustained the firm to the present. From the beginning, TBS' clients were among the industry's largest and most successful pioneers. For more than eighty years, TBS has been actively involved in staking out leases, mapping pipeline rights-of-way, managing permits, and resolving numerous other regulatory issues. T. Baker Smith is a 100-year-old Louisiana Civil Engineering firm.
