The first subway extension in Toronto in over 15 years, the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE) was a decade long project. The $3.2 billion Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE) is expected to carry some 24 million passengers a year by 2020.

Full design and construction of a new water supply system for the Village of Pugwash.

WSP reconfigures and upgrades Downtown Toronto’s Lower Simcoe Street (York-Bay-Yonge) Off Ramp.

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

The New Calumet Mine in Québec, Canada, was a lead, gold, zinc and silver mine which was partially decommissioned in the 1970’s.

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

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.

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.
