In collaboration with Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand, Te Matua a Māui Hawke’s Bay, WSP has been working towards enhancing the safety of the many buildings at Hawkes Bay Fallen Soldier Memorial Hospital.  

Our team has undertaken a rigorous process of seismic assessment, design, and monitoring of strengthening options over the course of several years. Despite the challenge of working within an operational hospital, we were able to adapt and implement effective solutions to improve the building's seismic performance.

With its striking cantilever over the heritage listed Firehouse Hotel, this 50-storey mixed-use tower will be the tallest building in North Sydney. The team adopted innovative servicing strategies to deal with the condensed floorplates and stringent sustainability targets to ensure the successful delivery of this iconic commercial and hotel tower.

In a first for Melbourne, WSP applied innovative structural engineering techniques to grow this inner city building in Melbourne to one of the tallest timber building extensions in the world. By using the latest in timber construction technology, WSP designed to use cross laminated timber (CLT) to transform the existing six-storey building by adding a 10-storey hotel.

We helped deliver Q Building – the first mass timber structure in Newcastle, and Regional NSW’s first 6 star rating as recognised by the Green Building Council of Australia. 

WSP worked with Empire State Development and numerous other stakeholders in the Penn Station vicinity to advance the Moynihan Train Hall.

In 2012, a  Christchurch Central Recovery Plan was developed with a vision to reinvigorate Christchurch and bring more people back to the area, further encouraging greater investment and economic growth. The Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre is a part of this changing landscape and will be a catalyst for further development of the city centre.

At WSP, we strive to help our clients manage and reduce impacts related to sustainability, climate change, energy and the environment by providing them the best practice solutions, and we are proud to contribute to the global efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The first public art museum in Australia to achieve a 6-star Green Star design rating. WSP worked with Atelier Ten and the Art Gallery of New South Wales during the design phase to ensure ecologically sustainable design outcomes were achieved.

WSP is guiding the CENTRUS joint venture and providing engineering and design management services for Canada’s largest and most complex heritage rehabilitation project.

In the early 1980s, WSP, in joint venture, prepared an alternatives analysis and a draft environmental impact statement that examined options for light rail and expanded bus service for the Portland metropolitan area. The TriCounty Metropolitan Transit District of Oregon (TriMet) opted to build one of the first modern light rail systems in the United States, known as MAX (Metropolitan Area Express).

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.

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.
