Resources, Industry and Energy

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.

Harvesting wind energy to power homes.

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.

Combining electricity generation with sustainable cultivation.

Solar installation saves energy in southern Spain.

WSP supported the Norwegian power company NTE Energi AS and contractor Skanska Norge AS in building the Storåselva power plant, which utilized the 124-metre-high waterfall in the Storåselva river.

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.

Our services span design review, quality surveillance and site supervision during the construction and commissioning of the 2,800 MW heavy fuel oil-fired power plant, with four units at 700 MW.

WSP provided engineering services for the electrical and structural systems for the solar PV farm, which at one time was the largest in Canada and the third largest in North America.
