WSP was engaged to undertake a feasibility-level slope design for the open pit at Elang, a large copper porphyry deposit in Sumbawa, Indonesia.

WSP geologists conducted a mineral resource estimate for a rare earth element mining project, taking a multi-disciplinary approach to sustainable mining.

WSP was engaged by the owner of an existing copper mine in Asia to assess the feasibility of mining deeper gold reserves.

WSP has helped demonstrate safe disposal of residual waste from a smelter, in a repository designed to last for 3,000 years.

WSP is helping plan development of what could become one of the biggest gold-copper mines in the world, using an efficient and cost-effective underground mining method.

Potash is a group of potassium-bearing minerals and chemicals that are found in underground deposits that must be mined. There is no substitute for potash in fertilizers, and without its beneficial boost to crop yields we would struggle to feed the world. Identifying new deposits is a part of ensuring a steady supply of potash to meet the growing demands of the world’s agricultural industry.

WSP’s proprietary software program, FracMan® is being used to shed light on the impacts of the oil and gas industry’s activities in the US states of Texas and Oklahoma.

A team of WSP researchers is helping unlock the geothermal puzzle.

Building a pipeline must balance completing the work on time and on budget with environmental protection. WSP helped support this balance while working Enbridge Line 3.

Harrestrup River (Harrestrup Å) in Vigerslev Park (Vigerslevparken) is about to undergo a major transformation. The City of Copenhagen's Technical and Environmental Department aims to combine climate adaptation with biodiversity enhancements and increased recreational value throughout the site.
