To maximise the value of offshore wind it’s critical to consider the complete lifecycle of a project. Our detailed experience from development through to repowering enables us, through our offshore wind engineering and advisory, and due diligence services, to help clients maximise asset performance.

Working as part of a wider multi-disciplinary project team our work included title interrogation, creating the DCO plans and a Book of Reference and land plans. Special category land plans were also developed for the onshore work which is approximately 65km long.

WSP provides a full Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS) chain capability covering the advisory and engineering challenges in this emerging global market.

Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS)

Since 2008, WSP has been supporting several global oil and gas companies with liability reduction programmes for inactive upstream assets.

As employer’s representative, we were engaged at an early stage of the project and provided support for a wide range of services from site selection through to review of operations and maintenance documentation.

WSP supports clients through power systems modelling that harnesses complex analytical skills to optimise systems; through expert advice on the electricity system; and through comprehensive consulting to create effective energy strategies.

Power systems and energy strategy

WSP provides specialised engineering expertise in developing and maintaining dams, hydropower systems and water infrastructure projects to power communities and industries worldwide.

Hydropower

WSP is providing quality support and inspection services throughout the £50m, 2-year refurbishment programme to secure the facility’s future.

WSP supports energy developers, utility clients, funders and investors throughout the lifecycle of their energy projects. We understand all technologies, which enables us to provide detailed and impartial advice.

Thermal energy and Bioenergy

An Integrated Resource Recovery strategy was developed and was a first step towards the sustainability of the plant. The study searched for technical solutions to derive value from the plant’s waste and to minimise its inputs.

WSP help clients meet challenges in planning and executing high-performance solar energy projects. Our expertise cover the full project’s lifecycle, from assessing energy yield through to handling power purchase agreements and maintenance during the operational phase.

Solar energy

WSP advised Caerphilly Country Borough Council on the planning submission for the largest publicly owned solar farm in Wales.

WSP provides services for nuclear energy projects including new build, radioactive waste management and decommissioning, geoscience, quality services, nuclear technology, and environmental and planning services.

Nuclear energy

In this podcast, contributors explore how the complex transport infrastructure requirements were managed by EDF and WSP.

WSP defined the initial network model including pipeline sizing and flows, the above-ground installations requirements and even the outline control and operational philosophies and safety case requirements. Working with our project partners, we also developed a capital estimate for the phased work.

Hydrogen energy

Around the world, WSP is helping to build the new hydrogen economy by supporting clients in the production, storage, distribution and utilisation of hydrogen as a clean fuel, applying our advisory, engineering and project management expertise to make major projects a reality.
