Bridge Planning

A bridge’s lifespan extends decades into the future, requiring careful planning in every aspect of its design and construction. A thorough understanding of construction processes, long-term maintenance issues, and environmental impacts is vital to the provision of value-added concept design.

Our teams provide expertise in statutory approvals and planning, heritage, construction methods and economics, foundations and materials.


Ensuring environmental compliance

Bridge projects can raise a wide array of environmental concerns, including issues surrounding erosion, soil and water contamination, and air quality control during construction. WSP provides expertise in monitoring and managing all aspects of environmental compliance, ensuring that our clients’ projects adhere to established standards and regulations at all levels.


Technology-driven bridge design

Once the feasibility of a project is established, our bridge engineers can help clients to achieve cost effective solutions throughout the concept design stage. One of our core strengths is the use of Digital Engineering approaches for planning, which includes parametric design, concept level digital models and leading to use of visualization. This is an essential tool when presenting any new bridge proposal. Working closely across all disciplines, including landscape and bridge architects, our teams ensure that bridge concepts are integrated with their overall project designs in order to develop aesthetically pleasing structures and bridge solutions that minimize impact on the environment.
