WSP in Action
The East London Line project formed a substantial part of the London Overground modernisation programme. Our programme management experts were integrated seamlessly with the client organisation to focus on key milestones and the application of progressive assurance practices. Under intense public scrutiny, this was the first project to be completed by Transport for London to Network Rail standards. The London Overground programme has brought a threefold increase in passenger numbers and has been credited with opening up new transportation routes, boosting local economies and revitalising neighbourhoods across East London and its surroundings. In 2011, we were awarded the Institution of Civil Engineers’ “Greatest Contribution to London” award for this programme.
Located in Toronto, Canada, the new Ryerson Student Learning Centre is a 156,000 sqft, nine-story building which showcases an impressive glass facade, including an elevated plaza and bridge connecting to the existing library. The ground floor and basement features prominent commercial retail space facing outwards onto the street with a transparent glass skin that creates a variety of lighting throughout the building. Inspired by the historical gathering spaces of the Stoas and Agoras in ancient Greece where learning was inherently social, the lively SLC gives students eight uniquely-designed floors of generous space to meet, study, and exchange ideas. Conceived as a library without books, the SLC is a library built for the digital age. Our team was commissioned to manage the project, the professional teams, and the construction manager from project initiation to year-end warranty reviews. We put in place all the necessary project management procedures, managed the costs and budget monitoring systems, oversaw commissioning and LEED Gold accreditation, monitored risks and opportunities, and managed project changes and documentation.
