WSP develops and implements proven processes and management systems. We tailor best practices in order to execute some of the world’s most complex projects. By instituting a higher level of quality assurance, these systems are integrated on our projects by our teams in all of our offices globally and on project sites to ensure all stakeholders have effective management systems in place.
Our quality assurance expertise includes industry regulation and compliance, risk identification and mitigation, as well as Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) programs, processes, and training. This practice also yields corporate strategies, insightful analysis for performance improvement, quality training programs to support business needs, and audits to verify compliance.
Our approach encompasses all the requirements and plans needed to complete a project safely, on schedule, and within budget. It provides clients and stakeholders with a high level of confidence in the fact that their projects are carried out within a tightly controlled and robust framework.
Quality Management ensures we coordinate activities that direct and control processes related to Quality Planning, Quality Control (QC), Quality Assurance (QA), and Quality Improvement.
