en.Wedoany.com Reported - Montreal-based engineering firm WSP has achieved significant growth through a series of strategic acquisitions, expanding both its business lines and geographic footprint. Data shows the company's annual total revenue increased from $2.3 billion in 2022 to nearly $5.1 billion in 2025, ranking fourth in the Engineering News-Record (ENR) 2026 Top 500 Design Firms list.
In the ENR Texas & Southeast regional rankings, WSP's regional revenue grew from $542 million in 2021 to $1.185 billion in 2025, securing second place in this year's regional Top Design Firms list. The 2022 acquisition of John Wood Group plc's environmental and infrastructure business, along with approximately 6,000 employees, and the earlier acquisition this year of power and energy giant TRC Cos., have had a particularly significant impact on the Southeast region, strengthening the company's presence in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. When acquiring Wood Group, WSP President and CEO Alexandre L'Heureux stated that the move would help achieve strategic ambitions, expand geographic reach, and increase expertise in key areas.
WSP's project portfolio spans multiple sectors, including developing raw water supply wellfields and injection well systems to provide alternative water sources in Polk County, Florida; providing meteorological guidance to the Georgia Department of Transportation; helping create a living shoreline in Apalachicola Bay; designing and delivering a shore power system at PortMiami; and serving as the lead designer for the Superior-Lane joint venture on the Florida Department of Transportation's approximately $1 billion Westshore Interchange project.
In the Atlanta market, WSP has served as the general engineering consultant for Georgia's $1.25 billion I-285 and I-20 West Interchange project since 2019, which broke ground in 2025. The company's most significant contract in the Atlanta area is leading the Atlanta Aviation Associates joint venture to deliver the $11.6 billion ATLNext project at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, undertaking responsibilities including project/program management support, quality management, safety oversight, constructability reviews, and supplier diversity outreach. The ATLNext program includes a $1.4 billion Terminal D expansion project, built by a risk-based CM joint venture comprising Holder Construction Group, C.D. Moody Construction Co., Bryson Constructors, and Sovereign Construction and Development. A total of 19 modular building units will be moved over a mile and across two runways, increasing the terminal's width from 60 feet to 99 feet and its length by 288 feet.
Edmund Ramos, WSP's Vice President of Aviation Delivery and Deputy Project Director, stated that the company's primary contribution is helping the airport balance major construction with daily operational needs. Claudia M. Bilotto, WSP's Southeast Region Executive based in Atlanta, noted that the company has many experienced project managers and the infrastructure to support them, enabling it to offer clients a broad range of services from site selection, due diligence, and civil engineering to the data center itself and facility engineering. Bilotto believes that providing a full suite of services to clients is a key part of the company's growth strategy and is highly effective.
Another Atlanta project WSP is involved in is Stitch, which will create approximately 17 acres of community park space on a 3/4-mile-long platform spanning the Downtown Connector between Ted Turner Drive and Piedmont Avenue. In Florida, the estimated $1 billion Westshore Interchange project is considered the largest highway construction contract in Tampa's history. Joint venture partners Superior Construction and The Lane Construction Corp. have hired WSP as the lead designer for this phased design-build (PDB) project. Through PDB procurement, WSP will facilitate collaboration among stakeholders to generate innovation and design optimization. WSP has a history of collaboration with Superior Construction, including serving as the lead design firm for the $171 million, 2,111-foot-long John T. Brooks Bridge spanning Santa Rosa Sound, currently under construction in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
In terms of talent, WSP announced in April that Katus Watson joined the company as U.S. Chief Operating Officer, having previously spent eight years at Jacobs. Watson stated that WSP's leadership and talent strength, along with the company's mindset of building for the future, attracted him to the role. He noted that the significant need for improvements in infrastructure systems such as transportation, energy transition, data centers, environmental remediation, sustainability, and defense are major issues the company needs to address, and WSP is well-prepared to tackle these challenges. WSP's Developing Professionals Network (DPN) provides employees with opportunities to work on projects alongside experienced mentors. Civil engineering consultant Richard Sinz Lopez said the DPN network offered him genuine development opportunities, and he recognized that no other company has established such a well-organized and well-structured young professionals network as WSP.
