The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat recently released 100 of the World’s Tallest Buildings, a book detailing the Top Company Rankings for numerous disciplines as derived from the projects found within the book's pages.
As part of its company rankings, the top MEP engineers were listed and ranked according to the number of buildings within the world’s 100 tallest they have completed work on. WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff, the top firm on the list, has worked on over three times as many of the world’s tallest buildings, 23, than the second firm on the list.
Jaros, Baum & Bolles came in second with seven buildings and Arup, which was at the top of the structural engineers list, came in third with six.
