Sustainable Solutions

We develop economically viable concepts that integrate ecological, social, and legal requirements – enabling future-proof land use.

Innovative Technologies 

Our field-proven remediation technologies ensure efficient outcomes, reduce risks, and accelerate project timelines. 

In-house Geotechnical Laboratories 

Our geotechnical labs in Germany deliver fast and precise results for soil and building material samples.

Turnkey Construction Sites 

We provide end-to-end-services – from acquisition assessments and initial site investigations to the handover of construction-ready sites.

Unlocking Potential Through Redevelopment 

Industrialisation has left its mark on many sites — from subsurface contamination to building materials contaminated with pollutants. CDM Smith develops integrated concepts to make these areas usable again. We offer comprehensive services from a single source: Engineering consulting and planning for the remediation of contaminated sites, deconstruction of facilities and buildings, and the rehabilitation of polluted indoor spaces. Preliminary investigations of soil and building materials ensure planning reliability and on-time execution. Through intelligent waste and soil management strategies aligned with the principles of the circular economy, and thorough cost-effectiveness analyses, we restore value even to long-abandoned sites. This way, you can realise your projects responsibly – protecting natural areas and the environment.
