I AM BUILT: U3, Berlin What if infrastructure could tell its own story and why it truly matters? Our I AM BUILT film series gives exactly that perspective a voice. The U3 in Berlin stands for connection, progress, and the rhythm of everyday life. It brings people together, creates reliability, and makes urban development tangible. Thanks to our colleagues Dorothee Christensen and Manfred Strauss for giving us an insight into their work – and to the BVG Projekt GmbH for the great collaboration. Here, too, essential engineering work lies beneath the surface: from challenging ground conditions to solutions that combine safety and sustainability. 👉 Listen now to what the U3 has to say. #IAMBUILT #Infrastructure #Berlin #IfStructuresCouldSpeak #CDMSmith

I AM BUILT: A72, Leipzig Three films. Three perspectives. One question: what really defines our projects? Our new I AM BUILT trilogy gives structures a voice of their own and reveals what usually remains unseen. 📽️ The first film takes us to section 5.2 of the A72 – one of the most demanding motorway sections in Germany, south of Leipzig. 💪 Here, CDM Smith carried out the preliminary ground investigations, developed and designed geotechnical concepts to stabilise and secure the complex subsoil for the motorway and associated engineering structures over the long term. Together with Die Autobahn GmbH des Bundes and other planning partners, we laid the foundation for a high-performance connection linking the city of Leipzig to the south. Curious to see what’s next? Next Wednesday, we’ll be giving another project its own voice! 💡 #IAMBUILT #ProjectFilm #EngineeringStories #CDMSmithMovie

High-tech underground: Artificial Ground Freezing in Australia 🚇 Two major infrastructure projects, the Forrestfield Airport Link in Perth and the Suburban Rail Loop in Melbourne, are relying on a brilliant technique: Artificial Ground Freezing (AGF). 🧊 This method involves precisely freezing the ground to enable safe and environmentally friendly tunnelling under extreme conditions. No chemicals, just pure precision. 💡 What AGF makes possible: • Safe tunnelling beneath rivers and cities • No foreign substances – great for the environment • Minimal surface deformation • Real-time monitoring and lab testing for maximum safety 📍 CDM Smith shows how it's done: With decades of experience and smart technology, the ground becomes solid foundation for tomorrow’s infrastructure.

We’re proud to celebrate the completion of the City of Antioch's Brackish Water Desalination Plant — the first of its kind in the California Delta. This state-of-the-art facility will produce up to 6 million gallons of drinking water per day and serve approximately 112,000 residents. Using energy-efficient, low-waste reverse osmosis technology, this plant is a powerful step forward in drought-smart infrastructure and a testament to what strategic planning, funding, and collaboration can achieve. We’re honored to have served as the construction management firm. From coordinating complex retrofit activities to verifying quality and safety at every stage, our team worked hand-in-hand with city officials, construction contractor, engineers, and state agencies in the delivery of this transformative project that blends innovation with purpose. Congratulations to the City of Antioch, California Department of Water Resources, and all the partners who made this vision a reality. 💧
