WSP, Global engineering services provider, has declared that it has entered into an agreement to get Ontario-based GA (Golder Associates), a leading earth science and environmental services consultant with globally-respected tunneling expertise.<\/p>\n
A further manifestation of WSP\u2019s meteoric development, the declaration follows a string of high-value engineering acquisitions made by the company in recent years, comprising LT Environmental (2020), Berger Group (2018), Opus International (2017), Mouchel Consulting (2016), and Parsons Brinckerhoff (2014). As a consequence, the move will see the company\u2019s global workforce rocket to 54,000, cementing its place as a global leader in environmental consulting and engineering.<\/p>\n
Golder Associates is no longer strange to tunneling: recent high-profile tunnel consultancy work comprises Tuen-Mun Chek Lap Kok Link \u2013 Northern Connection Subsea Tunnel, Hong Kong; the Riverside Stormwater Interceptor of Saint-Lambert, Quebec, Canada; Stockholm Metro extension, Sweden; Finsbury Park Station, London; Melbourne Metro; Sydney WestConnex M8 tunnels; and a submersed tunnel in Gothenburg, Sweden.<\/p>\n
\u201c[It]\u2026 ideally positions WSP to capitalise on the rapidly-growing ESG [environmental, social and governance] trends driving demand for environmental services and sustainable infrastructure development,\u201d said Alexandre L\u2019Heureux, WSP President and CEO.<\/p>\n
He also asserted: \u201cThis acquisition directly contributes to the realisation of the goals we laid out in our 2019-2021 Global Strategic Plan and is expected to contribute to both strategic growth and value creation for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is expected to have the acquisition completed by the spring of 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
