history

Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) was founded in 1947 by Thomas Camp with his partners Herman Dresser and Jack McKee as an initially regional consultancy for water supply and water protection. Company expansion in the United States and internationally began in the 1960s. Over the next six decades, CDM grew into a global company through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. In 2011 CDM took over the US traffic route planner Wilbur Smith Associates with 1,000 employees and renamed CDM Smith.

In Germany, the company's roots go back to 1953. Through mergers and acquisitions, the engineering offices Jessberger + Partner, Amann Infutec Consult, Jungbauer and building site Berlin were added to CDM Smith Germany. The merger with CDM took place in 1997. Today CDM Smith Consult GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDM Smith and employs around 600 people at 14 locations in Germany. The company headquarters is in Bochum. The management of CDM Smith Deutschland GmbH consists of Ralf Bufler (chairman) and Andreas Roth.

CDM Smith engineers are involved in many projects nationwide and internationally. These include the stabilization of the Leaning Tower of Pisa with the help of ground freezing, the upgrading of the Sylvenstein reservoir in the Bavarian Alps, the reactivation and development of the disused Opel plant 1 in Bochum, the underground line 5 in Berlin ("Unter den Linden") , the lowering of the groundwater level in Cairo's old town or the construction of a new cable car on the Zugspitze. CDM Smith is currently accompanying the tunnel crossing of the Suez Canal in Egypt and is taking on planning reviews and construction supervision. When the new FAIR particle accelerator was built in Darmstadt, CDM Smith carried out preparatory work with regard to soil investigations and in-situ procedures, among other things.

For the urban development project "Alte Weberei in Tübingen-Lustnau", CDM Smith and the City of Tübingen received the Land Recycling Prize 2016 from the state of Baden-Württemberg. In addition, CDM Smith won 1st prize in the competition of the Chamber of Engineers Construction North Rhine-Westphalia 2014 in the "Accessibility" category with the adventure elevator to Altena Castle. As a project partner of Bochum Perspektive 2022 GmbH, CDM Smith was delighted to receive the Polis Award 2019 in the "Urban area recycling" category. As part of the project “Mark 51 ° 7 - successful reactivation of the east of Bochum”, 70 hectares of a former industrial site are being modernized.
