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.
