Construction inspection and materials testing across a 31-county Georgia district
For over 20 years, GDOT has partnered with CDM Smith’s CEI experts to enhance southwest Georgia’s Tifton District, supporting hundreds of projects valued at over $3 billion across 31 counties. This partnership has helped improve construction quality overall, reducing errors and saving time and money in the region.
Innovative bridge engineering
GDOT entrusted the team to work on a unique bridge replacement—a 741-foot bridge over Albany’s Flint River.
Design-Build implementation
GDOT implemented the first three design-build projects in the district, enhancing collaboration and innovative contracting.
Modern technology integration
The team leveraged e-ticket systems for digitalized asphalt production tracking and drones to capture aerial documentation.
CDM Smith’s comprehensive support enabled GDOT to fortify southwest Georgia's transportation infrastructure with confidence, knowing they have dedicated CEI experts committed to implementing lasting, high-quality solutions for their communities.
As Joe Cowan, senior project manager, explains, “These are relationships built on mutual respect, shared commitment and the drive to construct quality road and bridge projects that will last for generations. The trust GDOT has in CDM Smith is evident in our long-term relationship,” he says.
