Redeveloping Halifax’s Historic Waterfront.

Surveying Calgary’s First Steel Skyscraper.

Two modern, high-pressure natural gas transmission pipelines built through Calgary’s busy urban corridors.

WSP's laser-focused surveying services are ensuring TransCanada’s northern courier pipeline stays on track—to centimetre accuracy.

To support the comprehensive master plan, we delivered an interactive GIS-enabled long-term mapping tool, a land use database, visual data representation to facilitate the illustration of transport policies. We also provided analysis of current and future environmental and land use patterns, utility location, emergency routes, and other transportation priorities. All the quantitative analysis for the Comprehensive Plan was entirely developed within the GIS environment.

An Integrated Resource Recovery (IRR) strategy was developed for the Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant and was a first step towards the sustainability of this 68.2 MLD plant. The study searched for technical solutions to derive value from the plant’s waste and to minimize its inputs. The results not only brought focus to the Region, which lead to the IRR option to pursue further into the design and implementation phase, but also immediate improvements with the implementation of short-term solutions.

Our environmental liability advice helped to inform a business acquisition in Papua New Guinea.

Bats are an integral part of our ecosystems, and some bat species in Canada are currently listed as endangered due to population declines. In order to receive provincial or federal environmental authorizations, surveys to assess impacts on Species at Risk are critical for many projects. Compensation measures for bats may also be required and solutions to enhance or protect bat habitats can be integrated into restoration or mine reclamation sites.

The remediation and redevelopment of this site included the management of a myriad of issues including threatened flora and fauna, major soil and groundwater contamination, mining leases and mine subsidence and industrial archaeology.

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.
