Project Spotlight: PFAS Remediation at a Regional Airport
When a regional council faced PFAS contamination at a local airport, they turned to CDM Smith for help. The site had a long history of firefighting foam use, and the environmental risks were growing.
Our team delivered:
- High-resolution site investigations
- Groundwater plume modelling
- In-situ remediation design
- Stakeholder engagement and transparent reporting
The result? A safer site, restored community trust, and a clear path forward for future development.
