Thermal Energy and Bioenergy

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.

With three billion new consumers expected to enter the global market by 2030, demanding goods and services, the linear model of our industrial economy (take, make, waste) is not sustainable. The notion of a circular economy — where resources, waste and emissions are minimized by closing or narrowing energy and material usage loops — is gaining momentum in many sectors including manufacturing, oil & gas, and energy.

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.

Pushing the boundaries of innovation to supercharge the nation’s renewable energy future, WSP partnered with Meridian Energy to deliver New Zealand’s first grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).

The Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) engaged WSP to investigate options to manage or mitigate New Zealand's "dry year problem".

Transforming a historic building into an energy machine of the future

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

Water and power plants are crucial to serving the growing populations of the Middle East. WSP’s environmental and energy experts are leading the way in achieving regulatory compliance for this important sector.

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.

Our services span design review, quality surveillance and site supervision during the construction and commissioning of the 2,800 MW heavy fuel oil-fired power plant, with four units at 700 MW.
