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 wind consultants were listed and ranked according to the number of buildings within the world’s 100 tallest they have completed work on. RWDI took the top spot on the list working on 43 of the world’s top 100 tallest buildings.

The next company on the list, BMT Fluid Mechanics Ltd., worked on 30 fewer buildings than RWDI.
