Government agencies

From municipalities to multinational agencies

Wood has supported local, regional, national and multi-country government agencies worldwide for more than 70 years. We bring diverse resources to plan, execute and manage all phases of complex projects and programmes. Our specialised expertise, global resources and innovative technologies respond to customers’ current and changing needs. We understand the needs and dynamics of public-sector customers and offer a strong emphasis on value, delivering safe, high-quality projects on time and on budget.

Our project teams have long-standing relationships with a vast array of civilian federal and national government agencies around the globe, such as in the US for the Department of Energy, EPA and Federal Highway Administration; in Canada for the Public Works and Government Services Canada, Canada Nuclear Laboratories, and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada; in the UK for the Environment Agency and Defra; throughout Europe for the European Commission; and agencies in the Middle East and Latin America.

We provide solutions that result in clean air, clean water, sustainable transportation, environmental restoration and energy efficiency. We're proud that our work for civilian agencies to improve the environment and transportation, water/wastewater, and other large infrastructure systems spans the globe into almost every geography and culture.

Our international development programme leverages our more than 160 years of commitment to building better infrastructure, livelihoods and opportunities for our global community. With day-to-day presence on five continents and successful past programmes in nearly every developing country in the world, we provide multidisciplinary consulting, design and construction services that support the political, social, and economic advancement of developing, post-conflict and post-disaster nations.

From Sub-Saharan Africa to the Middle East and Southeast Asia, our people offer true innovation that is borne from seamlessly melding science and engineering to humans’ physical and economic environments.

Think global, act local

Alongside our federal, national and international programmes, we work for provincial, state, regional and local governments providing infrastructure improvements, environmental compliance and restoration, building design and construction, and clean energy solutions.

We have contracts with municipalities in all 50 US states, local authorities across the UK, state governments, and regional and local communities worldwide. We design and construct water and wastewater treatment, distribution, and conveyance systems in both developed and developing countries to ensure communities have clean water.
