We are thrilled to announce that WSP, in partnership with KiwiRail, has been honoured with Gold and Silver at the 2024 ACE New Zealand Awards 🏆🥈 This recognition underscores both of our teams' commitment to innovation and technical excellence. Our collaborative efforts have led to groundbreaking solutions, such as the real-time slope movement monitoring system in Wellington, ensuring safe and efficient rail services on one of New Zealand’s most challenging tracks. It’s also been the catalyst for a new train control room layout inspired by human factors and behavioural science. The design addresses privacy, noise, and lighting concerns, enhancing operational efficiency and comfort. A huge thank you to #KiwiRail and our people for their trust, partnership, and mahi. Together, we are driving forward the future of rail infrastructure in Aotearoa. 🚆✨ #WeAreWSP #EngineeringExcellence #ACEAwards2024
