WSP is dedicated to delivering innovative
research solutions that incorporate the needs of New Zealanders. From their origins in the New Zealand

design and construction of major infrastructure projects across Aotearoa New
Zealand.
Today their researchers work in multi-disciplinary
teams to address challenges including movement around cities and places, zero-carbon alternatives to
traditional roading materials, and community resilience in the presence of
major natural hazards. WSP brings together a team of experts from diverse fields
to address some of the most pressing challenges facing our communities in Aotearoa,
New Zealand.
