WSP works with the New Zealand Transport Agency, local councils, contractors, private developers as well as residential land owners. We have an in-depth understanding of network operations and road network asset management that enables us to design public and private roads that offer value for money over the asset’s life cycle.
Our work is greatly supported by WSP Research specialists with unique insights into how people use transport, and in-depth knowledge of asset and materials performance.
We have about 500 staff across our New Zealand offices with a huge range of skills and disciplines that support road design.
