Feasibility services

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a systematic process assessing the possible positive or negative impact a proposed project may have on the environment, consisting of the natural, social and economic aspects. Examining the environmental consequences of development actions in advance of an EIA seeks to prevent impacts rather than dealing with such impacts after they have happened.

We have successfully project managed the EIA and planning process for a number of renewable energy projects and clients. In addition, we have provided support and technical input to many EIAs, both onshore and offshore.

We can offer a full EIA management service including:

• Screening and scoping to determine the level of detail required for the full EIA

• Baseline studies as necessary, to establish the state of the environment and socio-economic conditions prior to the implementation of the project

• Impact assessment in consideration of the potential effects of the project on the established baseline conditions

• Assessment of cumulative impacts to identify combined impacts which may arise from other existing or planned developments in the area

• Mitigation design involving the development of measures aimed at reducing negative impacts

• Assessment of residual impacts following the application of mitigation measures

• Preparation of Environmental Statement detailing the EIA process undertaken

• Public consultation performed throughout the EIA process
