Concrete and steel, stone and earth—these are the elements of infrastructure. BGE has brought these elements together in the service of engineering, construction, environmental science, planning, surveying and more. But by far the most important element of the projects we undertake is human. Community is at the heart of our mission. We are driven to ensure that our solutions endure for generations. We exist to serve.
