FLOOD PROTECTION Containing water. Unleashing possibility.

What began as a rudimentary structure has evolved into some of society’s most vital and sophisticated water-control systems. Our visionary engineers take dam design to the next level. Dams are one of the most important pieces of modern infrastructure, as they control river flow, regulate flooding and provide water to the communities that need it. Many also generate hydroelectric power, the world’s most widely used form of renewable energy. These intricate barriers require masterful planning, vast financial resources and attentive maintenance. With more than 25 years of experience working with retaining structures, WSP’s team of professionals is equipped with the latest tools and technology. Our project expertise spans from hydraulic engineering and structures to mechanical and electrical engineering. From project start to finish, our specialists are able to provide the expert solution that best suits our clients’ needs.

Our multidisciplinary team can assist with every phase of dam and levee design. Some of our most impactful services include: ■ Dam safety assessments and reviews. ■ 1-D, 2-D and 3-D modelling of discharge on dams and spillways. ■ Detailed engineering for new structures and rehabilitation works. ■ Environmental assessment and permitting. ■ Emergency action plans. ■ Design and assessment of tailing dams.
