Preparing for a growing South Australia

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.

This case study details the environmental studies conducted following the spill of a highly concentrated foaming liquid containing Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) that was accidentally released into an ephemeral creek after entering a stormwater drain. 

With people-centred engineering, the Jeddah Storm Water Program (JSWP) is more than an infrastructure initiative. It’s a transformative effort to protect lives, build resilience, and shape a more secure future for the people of Jeddah. 

Supported by our experts from WSP UK, Australia and New Zealand teams, we harness our asset management expertise and the power of data to set up a comprehensive risk-based planning system for over 9,000km of water mains, enhancing the reliability of water distribution service in Hong Kong.

Increasing demand for aggregates as a result of the transport infrastructure and housing boom in Melbourne prompted our client, Hanson — a leader in building and construction materials — to expand its current quarrying operations in Wollert, a residential growth area north of Melbourne. This expansion, however, required diversion of two natural waterways that formed part of the Findon Creek network.

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.

Bruce Power asked WSP to help him separate the local warming effects of plant operations from the variable natural factors throughout the lake that affect water temperature.

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.

The Rustenburg Local Municipality near Johannesburg, South Africa wanted to improve on this status quo by developing a solid waste facility that is both locally relevant while adhering to international best practices. For more than 15 years, WSP has been part of realizing that vision.

WSP collaborated with forward-looking water utilities to test, update and refine a model framework to integrate climate change risks and adaptation strategies into key business practices.

Leveraging data and predictive modelling to keep the giants of our oceans safe and thriving.
