The University of Cantabria’s engineering school is one of the most prestigious engineering schools in Spain. The campus is located in Santander, along the northern coast of the country.

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.

WSP delivered a upgrade to Premier Foods’ Billingham facility to increase the capacity of a plant manufacturing the meat-free protein Quorn.

We pioneered the conversion of a power plant from 100% coal-fired to 100% biofuel, on a scale that had never been attempted before. This project has become an exemplar for the world.

This retrofit and phased expansion of an existing biotechnology facility aimed to reduce costs by increasing efficiency, increasing yield, reducing waste and increasing process automation – including multiple interfaces with manufacturing.

Underground water management held unconventional challenges for a mining operation in northern Québec.

The Roy Hill Iron Ore Project involved the delivery of a new mine and its process plant, a 344-km heavy haul railway from mine to port, and a new two-berth port facility at Port Hedland.

Posing hazards to public health and the environment, we removed toxic contaminants and transformed this old mining site into a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and clean energy investment.

WSP assists a pharma company expand its range of products, providing all the engineering services needed to support the launch of its new solid dosage form for North American and European markets.
