WSP Receives Top Honours in 2021 Top100 Projects Report

With 57 projects on the list, WSP continues to provide its multi-jurisdictional expertise for Canada’s largest public sector infrastructure projects.

WSP is leading the way in infrastructure megaproject in Canada, again topping the list in ReNew Canada’s Top100 Projects report.

The annual report ranks the 100 largest public sector infrastructure projects, by dollar value, currently under development in Canada. Projects included on the list are only those that are in active assessment, procurement or construction, have a defined scope and project value, and have the necessary financial backing to move forward.

WSP proudly plays key roles in projects across all the development sectors highlighted in the report: transit, transportation, energy, buildings, and water-wastewater. From the environmental assessments and pre-feasibility designs, to construction management and commissioning services, WSP provides solutions for every step of the development process.

The Top100 Projects report lists all companies playing key roles in each project, with over 400 companies listed in the annual report. That includes Golder, whose acquisition, expected to be completed in the first half of 2021, will increase WSP’s footprint in the report from 57 projects to 70 projects.

The Top100 Projects report is an impressive demonstration of what’s possible when we work together to deliver high-quality infrastructure for communities across Canada. We are proud to work with our partners on so many of these vital projects, that will benefit Canadians and our communities for generations.
Ryan Brain President and CEO, WSP Canada
