Impressive track-record in airport terminal design

WSP has experience with all types of airport terminals and their interfaces with the civil works. We create synergies between technology, infrastructure and logistics in order to maximize energy savings and sustainability.

Our global presence means that we can assemble tailored project delivery teams for projects anywhere around the world. WSP offers expert aviation consulting services or create multidisciplinary teams to deliver fully integrated solutions, custom-made to specific needs.

Prompt and safe airside infrastructure services

Our specialists and subject matter experts work closely with airport owners and the aviation industry to improve operations and assist them in achieving their goals. We provide prompt and safe services that meet client expectations and airport and industry needs.

Many of our projects included airfield lighting and signage upgrades that required work on existing airfield lighting systems and airfield electrical vaults. We have also worked on multiple runways, taxiways and apron projects, designing and installing new airfield ground lighting and delivered airport support services for Airline Catering, Cargo and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) providers.

World expertise in landside infrastructure

We have led landside expansion and capital improvement projects at airports of varying scale throughout the world, from local and regional to international. For landside, we have extensive experience in strategic aviation advisory, planning, design, construction management and program management of:

Access roadways
Parking structures
Mass transit and high-speed rail interface
Utility infrastructure
Aviation support facilities
Airport cities
Aerospace Industry

We have designed access roads, rail and public transport interchange and “gateway” structures that create a first and lasting impression of the airport and new airport development projects.

Our aviation team consistently meets engineering, operational, environmental and planning and design challenges that result in safe, secure, environmentally sustainable solutions that are both technologically advanced and Future Ready®.

A one WSP approach to support the development of airport cities

WSP can draw upon its global network of experts in aviation, planning, transport, and infrastructure to help clients harness opportunities related to sustainable travel and intermodality, which many airports have the potential to support given their secondary role in facilitating regional or national surface connectivity.

WSP has built extensive capabilities in the planning, development and implementation of airport city and aerotropolis projects. In addition, we understand the essential key features that allow the potential of Free-Trade Zone (FTZ) developments to be fully realized, acknowledging the catalytic benefits for local communities, their contribution to the local economy and support of employment.
