CDM Smith delivers advanced solutions that enable the U.S. government – civilian and military – to protect lives, communities, and the environment. We have served the federal government since our founding more than 75 years ago, helping to address some of the nation’s highest-priority needs: revitalization of aging facilities and infrastructure, restoration of contaminated lands and waterways, redeployment of our armed forces, and enhanced preparedness for natural and manmade hazards – from coast to coast, Alaska to Puerto Rico, Germany to Afghanistan, and Djibouti to Guam.
