WE MAKE HIGH-RISE
POSSIBLE
FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS, WSP
HAS BEEN HELPING TO SHAPE THE
SKYLINES OF CITIES THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD. WE ARE LEADERS IN
THE DESIGN OF TALL BUILDINGS,
PIONEERING THE TREND TO BUILD
HIGHER AND SLIMMER TO OPTIMISE
VALUABLE REAL ESTATE IN OUR
DENSE URBAN ENVIRONMENTS.
BUILDINGS WITH
MORE THAN
30 FLOORS
DESIGNED
We offer world-class engineering
skills, advanced technical back-up
and in-depth knowledge of the
current design standards for any type
of building, anywhere in the world.
Our portfolio includes iconic global
landmarks such as the Petronas
Towers, the Shard and the World
Trade Center, while current projects
range from high-quality commercial
and mixed-use mega-towers across
Asia to some of the most desirable,
super-slender high-rise residential
developments in New York.
Building higher and slimmer than
ever before
Delivering technical excellence in
every respect
Our technical expertise and decades of
experience are enabling a new generation
of landmark mega-towers and superslender buildings to rise across the globe.
Each project is bespoke and the challenges
associated with great height, such as
mitigating the effects of wind turbulence,
are considerable.
Our centres of excellence in the
design of tall buildings offer world-class
design skills which we integrate with
local detailed-design delivery and
relationship management. Our talented
and experienced engineers are equipped
with the most sophisticated design tools
and constantly explore new ways to design
and build using innovative materials and
advanced methods of construction.
Soaring to heights of over 300m, megatowers are often described as vertical
“cities within cities” and are naturally suited
to mixed-use development, incorporating
offices, shops, hotels and apartments.
Through our innovative design approach
and use of materials, we ensure that the
form and function of our mega-towers
are perfectly adapted to the different
needs of the people who use them.
Our designs for tall, slim towers help
developers to make the most of limited
real estate in urban areas and capitalise
on small and constricted sites to create
highly desirable residences with magnificent
views and high market values.

OVER 50 YEARS’
DELIVERING
TALL BUILDINGS
Their expertise allows us to:
Creating the highest value
We add value to our projects by
listening carefully to our clients, thereby
ensuring that we meet their commercial
requirements and the needs of building
occupants, in addition to delivering
buildings that are safe, sustainable and costeffective. We have pioneered engineering
techniques that have reduced build times,
realised additional floors and maximised
space on the most awkward of floorplates.
From the earliest design stages, we plan
for the diverse uses that a building may
have through its whole life-cycle, focusing
on efficiency, economy and the flexibility
to adapt to future needs. We optimise
the building structure to maximise the
lettable area, and we optimise the building
performance by including energy-efficient
systems to reduce operational costs.
• c ounteract the impact of wind on tall
buildings through the innovative use
of higher strength concrete and steel
and the development of acceleration
damping devices
• e nsure the stability of very tall buildings
even in the most unstable of ground
conditions, such as earthquake zones
•d
eliver robust buildings that protect
against disproportionate collapse in
the event of localised damage
•d
eliver buildings that withstand
the effects of extreme events
•d
evelop new construction techniques
to streamline building construction and
minimise costs.

WE MAKE HIGH-RISE POSSIBLE
Our expertise makes it possible for
architects to realise their aesthetic
visions and for our clients to meet
their commercial goals. We have
a long history of innovation and a
reputation for imaginative thinking
coupled with common-sense
solutions. Buildings engineered
by WSP perform well throughout
their lifetime and make a positive
contribution to our cities’ economies,
society and the environment.

Sustainability with a view
We are committed to minimising the
burden of our projects on the environment,
while maximising the benefits they
offer economically and to society. We
have a long heritage of specialist green
building design, always at the forefront
of the development of new, sustainable
technologies to reduce the environmental
impact of tall buildings. We consider
the overall emissions and resource
consumption over the whole lifespan of
a building and prioritise strategies such as
using recycled or locally sourced materials,
low-carbon building services design and
minimising waste.
WE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO
HOW BUILDINGS INTERACT WITH
PEOPLE AND PUBLIC SPACES...
Stimulating urban economies and
revitalising city centres
Our tall building projects are catalysts for
urban regeneration, stimulating growth by
creating places where people enjoy living,
leisure and shopping as well as working.
They put people back in the heart of cities.
We pay close attention to how buildings
interact with people and public spaces
at street level, and contribute to the
creation of attractive, comfortable
streetscapes through the expertise of our
urban development and transportation
planners and the use of advanced
modelling technology.

WORLD TRADE CENTER
NEW YORK, USA
WSP is heavily involved in the reconstruction of the World Trade
Center, overcoming the many complexities of this high-profile and
sensitive site and setting new standards of design and construction.
One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the western
hemisphere and the third tallest building in the world, is the new
icon of the New York skyline. At 1,368ft (541m), the building is the
same height as the Twin Towers, and the spire reaches a symbolic
1,776ft – 1776 being the year of the American Declaration
of Independence.
Two World Trade Center, at 200 Greenwich Street, will be
the second tallest building in New York at 411m. The tower
will contain retail, office floors, trading floors, a sky lobby and
an imposing double-height ground floor lobby. The tower has
a unique diamond-shaped top to respond to the Memorial Park
below, and comprises four blocks arranged round the central
cruciform core.
Three World Trade Center, located opposite the WTC Memorial
and Cultural Centre, will be 357m high. The 80-storey tower has
an unusual design with an exposed steel structure. The building
includes office and trading floors above five levels of retail. The
three-level lobby offers tenants and visitors a picture-window
view onto the WTC Memorial.
Seven World Trade Center was the first building completed in
the WTC complex in 2006. Not only was it constructed quickly,
but it included a host of life-safety and environmental features
never before incorporated into a commercial skyscraper. The first
10 floors house an electrical substation serving the entire lower
Manhattan area.

This luxury residential tower will be the most prominent building
in Manhattan’s Tribeca district. Described as “houses stacked in the
sky”, the unique design features a staggered series of cantilevered
boxes arranged at varying angles, creating unique floor plans for
each of the 145 apartments. With a slenderness ratio of 1:13, the
tower is very slender, tapering gently as it ascends. WSP worked
closely with the architects to create a floorplate arrangement that
would meet the design goals while retaining the lateral stability of
the building.
Slated to become the most slender skyscraper in the world,
this project combines the conversion of the landmark Steinway
building near Carnegie Hall with a luxury residential tower. At its
base the heritage will blend with the modern, to provide shared
recreation spaces, a lobby and high-end retail. Above, the 77 floors
of apartments will have commanding views of Central Park. WSP
is the structural engineer for the building, whose east and west
facades will be clad in terracotta, while the north side will feature
a glass curtain wall. Located on a very small site, the project’s
width-to-height ratio is 1:24.
This luxury super-tall residential, hotel and commercial tower
in midtown Manhattan will be the tallest residential building
in the western hemisphere. The tower is characterised by its
unconventional and elegant structural system: in addition to being
very tall, it is also exceptionally slim with a slenderness ratio of 1:15.
The key challenge for WSP was to prevent building sway while
devising a structure to provide efficient and flexible floor plates that
could be reconfigured by apartment owners. Our building services
design incorporates energy efficiency and renewable technology
approaches with a viable economic basis.
