Canada-based WSP achieved organic growth of 29.4 per cent year-on-year in the Middle East during the second quarter of 2015.

“We are pleased the Middle East region has continued to show positive results, particularly as these results reflect our post integration business as usual performance,” says Tom Bower, managing director, WSP/Parsons Brinckerhoff, Middle East. “It is further evidence that our combined strength and enhanced capabilities is a better proposition for our clients and our people. Looking forward over the remainder of this year and into the next, we have a robust pipeline of work and we will continue to focus on project selection and capitalising on our increased expertise.”

The wider Europe, Middle East, India and Africa region recorded organic growth of 12.7 per cent year-on-year, driven by Swedish and UK operations, with the Middle East in particular.

WSP’s global revenues were $Can1.5bn ($1.1bn), an increase of 148.5 per cent from the same period last year.

WSP/Parsons Brinckerhoff is working on a wide variety of projects in the Middle East. Its most recent award was in Kuwait, where the Public Works Ministry awarded it work on the upgrade of the Kabd Sulaibiya highway in Kuwait City’s Metropolitan area.
