Ingenious engineering by WSP has put the tallest City of London tower on the road to net zero

Performing collaborative project management and advanced engineering for one of the largest power plants in the world while helping build local communities.

Windpeshi is a clean energy generation project taking place in indigenous communities' territories in La Guajira Peninsula, northern Colombia.  The project entails the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a wind farm with approximately 200 MW of installed capacity through the installation of a maximum of 45 wind generators, a booster substation inside the wind farm, a 59.1 km long 220 kV transmission line and other supplementary works.

WSP is the first company in the world to launch a personal carbon tracking program for its employees, allowing them to track and reduce their emissions easily at home.

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.

The largest power transmission line in this South American country connects the north and the south, thus providing greater power reliability and stability.

A new biofuel combined heat and power plant will support the city of Borås’ goal of becoming a non-fossil dependent city by 2030.

WSP worked closely with its client to provide electrical transmission interconnection that supports the economic development of two of Colombia’s large poles. The complex project supplanted the need for energy generation based on thermal sources and attained social acceptance for its construction and operation.

WSP provided detailed design in joint venture and full engineer-procure-construct services for the expansion of the Sand Hill Energy Center in Austin, Texas.

WSP’s Save and Preserve Project came up with an ingenious—and highly sustainable—way of keeping worshippers warm in cold medieval churches on the Island of Gotland, in Sweden.
