The Kaituna River Re-diversion and Maketū Estuary Enhancement Project was established to significantly increase the volume of freshwater flowing from the Kaituna River into Te Awa o Ngātoroirangi/Maketū Estuary and re-create 20ha of wetland.

The project sought to address the long-standing negative effects of the 1956 Kaituna Cut and associated works on the health of the estuary and the local community. Re-diverting the rivers flow would restore freshwater connections in the upper estuary, stop the process of sand infilling the lower estuary, and significantly improve the ecological health of the middle and upper estuary.

Along with the re-creation of 20ha of wetland and increased opportunities for public access, the project would help to make the estuary healthier for people to swim and fish in.

As general consultant for the municipality of Sollentuna, WSP is working on an exciting sustainable neighbourhood in Väsjön, Stockholm. 

WSP worked with the City of Charlottetown to deliver the first-ever watermain lining project in the province of Prince Edward Island (PEI).

WSP assisted the Region of York in completing a complex and extensive rehabilitation of a trunk watermain using CIPP technology.

Since 2015, WSP has provided the City of Toronto with Design, Project Management, and Contract Administration support for Watermain Rehabilitation as they work to meet their 10-year goal of eliminating the state of good repair backlog.

WSP delivered an unconventional and innovative solution for ammonia nitrogen water treatment for a mining operation in northern Canada.

The project involved the replacement of a gaseous chlorine system with a liquid bulk hypochlorite system at the Coquitlam Water Treatment Plant (WTP), one of two treatment plants in the Metro Vancouver Region. A critical step in the water treatment process, the chlorine disinfection process was continuously operated throughout this conversion.

Upgrades at the Sainte-Angelique drinking water treatment plant in Saint-Lazare, Quebec, aimed to double water production capacity to 19 MLD without enlarging the plant building and staying within budget.

Starling at Big Lake is a 64-hectare low impact, sustainable residential development located in northwest Edmonton.

WSP was hired when a neighbourhood in Fort McMurray became at risk during the flood events that occurred in 2013, erosion of the river banks had encroached near private property and caused sections of the park trail to be washed away.
