The best remedial strategy will falter, and may ultimately fail, if it is implemented poorly. Similarly, poorly developed remedial strategies will waste time and capital on activities that do not lead to achieving the client’s goals. WSP Environment & Energy's engineering staff brings comprehensive regulatory, site characterization, engineering, and construction experience to each project whether a cost evaluation, feasibility study, or detailed design. WSP Environment & Energy's engineers follow their designs to the field, where they provide the construction oversight and monitoring, which ensures they are implemented properly. Also, this first hand knowledge provides the experience required to ensure they provide our clients with designs that are not only cost efficient but also readily implemented. This also ensures that the cost estimates they develop reflect the real costs of the project rather than generic unit rates pulled from a book.

WSP Environment & Energy's approach to engineering focuses on the impacts to our clients’ business:

• We design pragmatic solutions that can be readily implemented. Budgets and schedules do not suffer from designs that are elegant but impractical.
• WSP Environment & Energy's engineers are an integral part of our project teams with geologists and regulatory specialists. This ensures that the design integrates with all aspects of the strategy for the project.
• We use telemetry and automation to reduce the need for long-term and expensive staffing of systems.
• We do not waste time and money designing custom components when manufactured components will do.
• Our extensive experience enables us to pick the right system for each circumstance, eliminating costly trial and error.

WSP Environment & Energy's role in implementing remedial projects ranges from oversight, field engineering, and independent quality assurance to being the general contractor. WSP Environment & Energy's oversight personnel review and ensure compliance with plans, specifications, and contracts. Our experience with construction oversight allows our clients to achieve project objectives with minimal demands on their time and with strict control of their budgets. We are the client’s means to ensure they are getting value for their construction dollars.

WSP Environment & Energy's ability to identify objectives, develop strategies, control liabilities, work effectively with regulators, and implement effective management approaches results in projects that are routinely completed within budget and, often, at significant cost savings. Equally important, WSP Environment & Energy's approaches successfully address our clients’ long term liabilities while recognizing and understanding the realities of clients’ cash flow management.
