Visualization for Project Delivery

Design visualization includes a robust suite of state-of-the art visual communication tools and technologies to accurately and realistically present complex and technical project information. From conceptual planning and design through project delivery and public engagement, design visualization brings project to life so stakeholders can visualize otherwise difficult to-comprehend alternatives, concepts and project elements not easily explained

Our Design Visualization experts leverage their experience and expertise with new and emerging design visualization tools to empower project teams to:

• Accelerates project planning, design and delivery
• Demonstrates project effectiveness
• Supports project accountability
• Clarifies complex, controversial and/or difficult to describe projects
• Builds stakeholder consensus and facilitates informed decision making and approval
• Supports development and adoption of new technologies, approaches and workflows
• Expedites project financing
• Increases pre-sales and pre-lease contracts
• Enhance marketing strategies

WSP’s design visualization toolbox includes:

• 2.5D Rendering
• 3D/4D modelling, rendering and animation
• Conceptual sketch/illustration
• Photo simulation
• Real-time interactive 3D
• Motion graphics
• Augmented/virtual reality
• 3D city models

Design and Engineering Software Solutions

WSP is committed to providing the most current and comprehensive software solutions in support of our visualization, CADD (Computer Assisted Design and Drafting), BIM (Building Information Modeling) and engineering application environments. Our enterprise level agreements with Autodesk®, Bentley, Esri and other software solutions providers gives our design teams access to (1) a robust suite of state-of-the-art software tools that are integrated to accelerate project delivery and improve asset performance for the infrastructure that sustains our communities; and (2) technical services, support and collaboration to best leverage this software portfolio.

Computer Analysis and Visualization Environment (CAVE)

WSP’s CAVE technology platform is a real-time multi-dimensional computing and presentation environment that integrates a unique combination of hardware and software for breakthrough improvements in integrated Project Design, Delivery and Information Management. Our CAVE technology platform allows for the most complete and intelligent integration of any digital project information using a unique combination of 3D computer modelling, interactive scheduling, project controls, analytical simulation, spatial databases, real-time visualization and virtual reality. A CAVE facilitates collaborative project planning where more intimate and immersive methods for visual presentations can be explored, including team collaboration environment, presentation space and research and development. WSP has CAVE facilities in several offices, and we can develop specifications for project or client locations worldwide.
