WSP has played a significant role in the delivery of the Woodfibre LNG Project, one of the world’s first net-zero LNG export facilities, located near Squamish, British Columbia. Through a series of multidisciplinary assignments totaling approximately $38 million in engineering and construction services, WSP has supported the project from detailed design through construction execution. Key services have included marine infrastructure engineering, construction management, specialized mechanical systems design and geotechnical engineering. WSP’s involvement has provided critical technical expertise to support the safe and efficient construction of the facility’s marine terminal and associated infrastructure. In parallel with its technical contributions, WSP has strengthened its long-term commitment to the region through a formal partnering agreement with the Squamish Nation, creating a framework for collaboration and supporting future infrastructure and development opportunities within the Squamish area.

WSP’s work includes construction management services for the Woodfibre Marine Terminal substructure installation program, providing on-site leadership, field engineering, contractor coordination, quality oversight and construction support during execution of the marine works. WSP also delivered the detailed design of the marine terminal facilities, including marine structures, foundations and the associated infrastructure required to support LNG export operations. In addition, WSP completed the detailed engineering of the facility’s damping system, supporting the design and implementation of specialized marine infrastructure systems and providing technical support through the fabrication, testing, installation and commissioning phases. Complementing these efforts, WSP provided geotechnical engineering services for temporary excavation support systems, delivering design and construction-phase expertise to facilitate safe site development activities. Together, these projects demonstrate WSP’s integrated capabilities across engineering, marine infrastructure, geotechnical services, Indigenous partnership development and construction management, helping advance one of Canada’s most significant energy infrastructure developments toward successful completion.

WSP provided environmental, geotechnical and ground improvement support for the Tilbury LNG Ground Densification Project on Tilbury Island in Delta, British Columbia as part of FortisBC’s LNG facility expansion program. Acting in a design-build capacity, WSP developed and implemented ground improvement solutions to address potentially liquefiable sands and overbank silt deposits, helping mitigate seismic and liquefaction risks associated with the expansion of critical LNG infrastructure.

The project included site preparation, the installation of 927 stone columns to depths of up to 31.2 metres, rapid impact compaction and comprehensive QA/QC monitoring using cone penetration tests. WSP also supported large-scale ground improvement works for the LNG process facilities—including approximately 3,600 vibro-replacement stone columns—and contributed to the seismic stabilization of the Fraser River dike protecting the site. Through its integrated geotechnical and construction-focused approach, WSP helped deliver safe, code-compliant ground conditions that support the long-term resilience and reliability of one of British Columbia’s most important LNG facilities.
