Piers & jetties

Piers and Jetty engineering requires a collaborative approach, integrating health and safety, risk, vessel cost, development capex/opex, weather, and environmental constraints, with optimised design and value. Our maritime team with their finite element analysis and integrated digital engineering BIM models combined with other disciplines brings benefits to the client.

Offshore structures

Subsea and offshore engineering requires a ‘right-first-time’ approach, balancing the drivers of health and safety, risk, vessel cost, development capex/opex, weather, and environmental constraints, with data acquisition and design. The ability of WSP to provide a one-stop shop, integrating the maritime team with our other disciplines - such as electrical, mechanical, and structural engineers - brings benefits to the client.

Quay walls and sea walls

We tailor our approach to quay wall design to meet our client’s operational objectives, both immediate and for the future. For new infrastructure, our designers will evaluate the operational requirements and site conditions (such as marine climate, soil conditions and environment considerations) to determine the most appropriate solution. Typically, the solutions will range from gravity structures through suspended decks on piles to embedded sheet piled combi-wall or diaphragm wall type constructions.

Subsea cables and pipelines

WSP has unsurpassed capabilities that encompass geotechnical, mechanical and electrical disciplines (including high voltage direct current, export and array cables and interconnectors, oil filled, mass impregnated paper and XPLE, telecom). Our teams have experience in depths ranging from shallow coastal to deep ocean, and varying environments. This breadth of capability and expertise enables us to offer cutting edge yet cost-effective solutions to our clients.

Previous work includes FEED studies for clients to detailed engineering for EPC Developers (wind farms, cable crossings, etc.).
