Resilient Water Infrastructure for a Changing World

Climate change, ageing infrastructure and rising demand pose major challenges for utilities and municipalities. CDM Smith offers comprehensive expertise from water sourcing and treatment to distribution.
Our diverse portfolio includes the rehabilitation of outdated reservoirs, water towers and storage tanks, as well as the planning and implementation of new supply networks. We analyse existing pipe systems, develop cost-effective rehabilitation strategies and apply modern trenchless technologies. Moreover, we support the development of new water sources, the regeneration of wells as well as the designation of water protection zones.
Whether it’s network expansion, construction supervision or permitting: we manage your project holistically, ensuring drinking water remains safe, efficient and sustainably available.
