In the quest to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and boost social outcomes, it can be hard for Aotearoa New Zealand’s urban communities to know where to start. Now, thanks to a new WSP research project, they can see what’s worked well elsewhere.

Between 2010 and 2020 there were fifty-two fatal and serious-injury incidents at level crossings in Aotearoa New Zealand. In an effort to reduce these kinds of incidents, KiwiRail has commissioned WSP's Human Factors and Behavioural Science team to research how best to alter level crossings to reduce the likelihood of vehicle/train collisions.

If there’s one thing Valentina Petrone wants you to know about the circular economy, it’s that “it goes way beyond recycling”.

‘Tall excellence: seeking the ideal in vertical urbanism’ was the theme of the 2022 Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) Conference, which took place in Chicago from 9-12th November.

We’re delighted that 12 of our projects won Awards of Excellence and we have been ranked as the #1 engineering company in CTBUH’s latest publication: The World’s 118 Tallest Buildings. 

New research commissioned from WSP by the Building Research Association (BRANZ) has found Aotearoa New Zealand’s light-framed timber building designs are well placed to withstand higher wind speeds due to climate change.  

WSP is proud to be the principal sponsor of the New Zealand Institute of Healthcare Engineering conference (16th – 18th November) held in Christchurch.

Report from Environment Analyst identifies the world’s largest environmental and sustainability (E&S) consulting firms in 2022.

The research arm of leading design and engineering firm WSP in New Zealand has just received $9.1 million in funding from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) Endeavour Fund to investigate use of biomass as a replacement for roading bitumen.

The 2022 Association of Consulting and Engineering NZ Awards were held last week, with several WSP projects scooping high profile industry recognition.

Since pledging last November to halve the carbon footprint of infrastructure designs and advice by 2030, WSP in New Zealand has passed another milestone in moving its strategic commitment forward.

The steep cliffs that lie between coastal villages on Wellington’s Kāpiti Coast have a history of slipping and instability. In heavy rain, that can spell trouble for the rail line beneath. Now, thanks to instrumentation experts from WSP Research, KiwiRail is set to benefit from the latest in slope monitoring technology.

Maintaining footpaths can be a challenging and time-consuming task at the best of times. Now, thanks to power of artificial intelligence (AI), WSP is helping make the job a little safer and easier.
