Environmental and Social Assessment
Environmental Assessment
The environmental assessment process is fundamental to sustainable development. It identifies whether an environment could be harmed by a scheme as well as how a scheme could be affected by its surroundings. It also looks for opportunities to enhance the environment.
Our Expertise
EQMS has over 20 years’ experience of complex and challenging environmental impact assessments (EIA) and of writing environmental statements for a wide range of projects. Clients recognize the benefits that we bring to their project because of our in-house expertise not just in all environmental disciplines, but also in other related areas. We offer a complete, integrated service covering all phases of developments from master planning to EIA, and from strategic environmental assessment to construction environmental management plans. We're engaged during the earliest stages of a project's conceptualization not only to ensure legal compliance and adoption of best practice standards, but also because our EIA studies are valuable tools for identifying potential problems during the initial planning and design process. We identify ‘show-stoppers’ and cost-effective solutions as well as design mitigations as projects develop.
