Sustainability, Energy and Climate Control

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 rail delivery partner for the first high-speed rail system planned for implementation in the US and has developed new railway standards for HSR in the country.

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.

In pursuit of reducing the shoreline and infrastructure’s vulnerability to coastal hazards, Parks Canada selected WSP to evaluate the state of various structures and address ongoing issues related to climate change, erosion, and maintenance and repair.

Looking to replenish the degraded natural environment of Cap-des-Rosiers beach and to eliminate the cost of maintaining and repairing the damaged coastal road and infrastructures, Parks Canada selected WSP to conduct a hydrodynamic study of the coastal processes and develop several restorative solutions that will limit submersion and erosion due to sea level rise.

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.
