Services
Environmental Impact Assessment
We conduct comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) to evaluate potential effects of projects on the environment. Our process identifies mitigation measures, fulfils statutory requirements, and supports informed decision-making. Clients benefit from our expertise in scoping, baseline studies, and stakeholder engagement for development projects.
Strategic Environmental Assessment
Our Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) services assess environmental implications of regional and national plans. We integrate environmental considerations into decision-making through baseline collation, alternative analysis, and stakeholder consultation. This ensures sustainable outcomes for large-scale programmes.
GIS Data Management
We provide bespoke GIS solutions for marine spatial data management. Our specialists combine latest datasets with project-specific information to support planning and survey design. Services include constraints mapping, sensitivity analysis, and visualisation at local to national scales.
Decommissioning Support
We offer end-to-end decommissioning support including Comparative Assessments (CA), surveys, and EIA documentation. Our methodology for subsea facility CA ensures compliance with regulatory standards. Clients receive tailored strategies for decommissioning planning and stakeholder consultation.
Pollution Emergency Planning
We develop Pollution Emergency Plans (PEPs) detailing spill prevention and response arrangements. Our plans address hazardous substance management from offshore installations, ensuring compliance with marine pollution regulations and operational preparedness.
