In an emergency, there’s little time for seeking out new consultants, prequalifying contractors, or managing multiple contracts. CDM offers a unique and simple approach to managing emergency contracts: we act as your single contact for consulting, engineering, construction, and operations. CDM’s expertise encompasses all aspects of water, wastewater, stormwater, water resources, solid and hazardous waste, transportation, and infrastructure management. This diversity enables us to bring a “big picture” view to any project and an understanding of how an emergency may affect many interconnected systems and facilities.
CDM’s responses to emergencies are tailored to meet owners’ specific needs, matching services and project delivery methods to meet the demands of the crisis. Our services during emergency situations have included immediate assessments, temporary and short-term repairs/solutions, design and construction of long-term improvements, contract operations and maintenance, operator training, environmental remediation, troubleshooting, risk assessments, failure analyses, community relations support, assistance with insurance settlements, and regulatory compliance assistance. Our project experience reflects the breadth of our emergency service capabilities—from mending pipeline breaks and repairing facilities damaged in earthquakes and hurricanes to emergency operations services and on-call emergency engineering and construction management.
