The MEED awards celebrate the best projects in the GCC sector. Tunnel in Ismailia Since March 2015, CDM Smith, in cooperation with its local partner ACE, has been working on the construc­tion site as a consultant for controlling, plan review and construc­tion supervision of the new tunnel crossing of the Suez Canal. Our expertise ranged from earthworks and special civil engineering through tunneling and structural work to the complete technical development, with up to 65 employees involved in the project in Egypt and Europe at peak times. The project is scheduled to be fully completed and handed over to the Suez Canal Authority at the end of June 2021. Although the tunnel was opened to traffic in mid-2019, final construc­tion work is still underway, such as the final power supply, the construc­tion of 70-metre-deep shafts connected to the tunnels and the construc­tion of a spray system. Due to the very good performance in this project, CDM Smith succeeded in winning a similar follow-up project with the same stake­hold­ers in Suez (Ahmed Hamdy Tunnel 2). The opening is scheduled for mid-2021; project completion is planned for 2022. CDM Smith provides lasting and integrated solutions in water, environment, trans­porta­tion, energy and facilities to public and private clients worldwide. As an independent, employee-owned company, we work with team spirit and passion for the satis­fac­tion of our clients and master the challenges of global change with intelligent solutions. It takes shared respon­si­bil­ity and teamwork to achieve a successful outcome in a large project.
