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.

The C-44 Reservoir/Stormwater Treatment Area (STA) covers roughly 6,300 acres in Central and South Florida. The massive, groundbreaking project implemented by South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is a critical part of a long-term plan to restore, protect and preserve the water and natural resources of one of the most unique environments on earth.

Underground water management held unconventional challenges for a mining operation in northern Québec.

WSP is part of an inter-organizational team working to bring a near real-time detection and predictive modelling technology to Canada to help protect the endangered North Atlantic right whales from extinction.  

As general consultant for the municipality of Sollentuna, WSP is working on an exciting sustainable neighbourhood in Väsjön, Stockholm. 

The restoration of several hundred acres of marsh into a greenway provides habitat for migratory species, and supports maritime and early successional forest, as well as a public access network.

WSP USA works with South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to balance water supply and ecosystem restoration in the Everglades, to sustain this natural wonder for future generations.

Collaborating with Cardiff University, we designed a sustainable approach to treating polluted metal mine water and are implementing it on the first site of Natural Resources Wales’ nationwide programme.

Helping to protect and manage the long-term viability and biodiversity of the area.

To protect canopy cover and reduce the need for human intervention, trial atmospheric cooling and artificial roosts are being undertaken for one of Victoria’s permanently occupied Grey-headed Flying-fox colonies in Rosalind Park, Bendigo.

The project maximizes ecological uplift, avoids adverse impacts on rare and threatened species, and anticipates climate change factors.

The New Calumet Mine in Québec, Canada, was a lead, gold, zinc and silver mine which was partially decommissioned in the 1970’s.
