ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The purpose of EIA is to identify and predict the possible impacts on the bio-geo-physical socio-cultural and economic environments of development proposals in order that steps can be taken to avoid negative impacts and maximise those whose effects are positive.

We are able to provide you with the full range of EIA services. Our experience has been gathered on a diverse range of projects including water resources, sanitation, road building and industrial developments in different parts of the world.

The EIA studies we conduct are comprehensive and may generally be divided into the following project phases:

• Definition of study goals (i.e. aims and objectives)
• Consideration of all possible options
• Scoping - identification and determination of all potentially significant impacts
• Evaluation of impacts and consideration of mitigation
• Communication of findings and recommendations
• Post project monitoring and assessment

The multi-cultural and mulit-lingual nature of our team of engineers means that we are especially well placed when it comes to conducting EIA's with a strong social component in developing countries.
