Integrated Solutions for Energy Infrastructure

The energy transition requires more than just technical expertise – it needs a networked mindset, precise planning and reliable implementation. See how we support infrastructure projects efficiently, sustainably and in partnership.

Shaping the Energy Transition

CDM Smith supports the transformation of energy infrastructure with technical expertise and holistic planning – for a sustainable supply.

Interdisciplinary Expertise

Our teams bring together geotechnical specialists, civil and environmental engineers – delivering well-thought-out solutions from a single source.

Civil EPC

Through our comprehensive Civil EPC services, we help you successfully navigate the complexities of the energy transition — from permitting and construction planning to procurement, project management, and execution.

Digital Planning with Added Value

With Building Information Modeling (BIM), we optimise your projects in real time, ensuring maximum transparency and cost control.

Infrastructure for the Energy Transition – a Holistic Approach

The energy transition is one of the greatest challenges of our time. CDM Smith is a reliable partner in this transition, offering technical excellence and comprehensive planning expertise. We provide support for the construction of new extra-high voltage lines and grid battery storage facilities – from consulting and coordination to structural engineering and environmental construction supervision. Our services include soil-related construction supervision, environmental construction supervision, local site supervision for civil works, foundation engineering support, as well as stakeholder and permitting management.
