WSP was mandated by Auckland Transport (AT) and Vector to perform an electric bus power demand study for all Operator depots currently servicing Auckland’s public transportation.

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.

Completed in 1971, Manapōuri Power Station is the largest hydroelectric power station in New Zealand. WSP was engaged to provide the design of all the ancillary work associated with the building of the second tunnel.

WSP have been managing the Facilities and Asset Management, and the delivery of the buildings and grounds portfolio of Transpower’s network contract for more than 25 years.

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.

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.
