Civil Works for Rail and Transit

WSP’s rail and transit experts develop design solutions that satisfy all end-user requirements, whilst also delivering value, quality and best practice in sustainability.

ExpertiseProjectsInsightsSectorsServices

WSP’s user-centered design approach includes feasibility and investigative studies, structural design, environmental impact assessment, detailed construction design and 3D modelling. With Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology, we not only increase creativity and sustainability in our designs but also enhance collaboration and provide clients with an ultimate tool to operate and maintain the asset.

Facility and stations design

Facility and stations design

WSP places the user at the heart of the design process. Our aim is to facilitate a seamless and safe means of transport from door-to-door. Understanding the different needs to provide a satisfactory service to the customer, at each point of the journey is key.

Infrastructure, facility, and system design

WSP has a widely acknowledged reputation for the delivery of effective multidisciplinary design services. We provide engineering and project design for all aspects of transport infrastructure, systems and communication systems. Our input starts from development of project requirements, through conceptual design, detailed design and during construction, installation and maintenance of the asset.
