Geotechnical and Tunnelling

WSP’s achievements over a century cover a wide array of ground engineering and tunnelling projects worldwide. We have addressed many of today’s most pressing concerns, including in the areas of engineering geology, geotechnical design, seismic design, digital technology, tunnel support design, tunnel ventilation and fire life safety, security and blast design, constructability, tunnel systems, risk analysis and management, environmental planning, and stakeholder communication. We have also made strides in keeping infrastructure up-to-date, having inspected and rehabilitated numerous structures, some of which we originally designed nearly a century ago.

In Australia, our Geotechnical and Tunnels team of over 400 people, brings unparalleled technical expertise and depth to our client’s problems to help them address their most pressing challenges and take meaningful action toward a more sustainable world. We provide ground engineering and tunnelling solutions to all market sectors, including, Transport, Energy and Renewables, Property and Buildings, Mining, Oil and Gas, Defence, and Water across the project lifecycle. Our way of thinking, ability to challenge the conventional, as well as our experience and understanding of both technical and commercial priorities, allows us to push, innovate and tackle problems in ways that add significant value to our clients and contribute to their project’s overall success.
