Baker Engineering and Risk utilizes their ranch to improve safety

What happens when cutting-edge safety research meets the wide-open beauty of South Texas? You get the Box Canyon Ranch in Kinney County, a 2,300-acre site owned by Baker Engineering and Risk Consultants—and it’s far more than just a testing ground.

Originally acquired for industrial safety experiments, the ranch has become a unique blend of science, stewardship, and rural living. While tests (some costing up to $150,000 each) support the oil, gas, and chemical industries, the ranch also offers urban engineers a rare taste of country life—from operating tractors to enjoying crystal-clear night skies. The property maintains its agricultural roots with cattle grazing and hunting leases, while Baker’s team ensures strict environmental safety protocols, like a zero ground-discharge policy.

International scientists, curious neighbors, and first-time ranch visitors alike are amazed by the peaceful setting and wide-open views—making Box Canyon a place where serious safety work and natural beauty go hand in hand.
