Full scope EIA, Land remediation studies
Full Scope Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA):
A Full Scope Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a comprehensive evaluation process conducted before the initiation of a proposed project or development. This assessment aims to identify, analyze, and mitigate potential environmental, social, and economic impacts associated with the project. It involves a thorough examination of various factors, including land use, biodiversity, air and water quality, and cultural heritage. The goal is to make informed decisions that balance the benefits of the project with its potential adverse effects, ensuring sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
Our services in the field are - but not limited to - the following:
- Project manager tasks plus environmental licensing tasks.
- Air quality management
- Appropriate Assessment (AA) of Natura 2000 sites
- Assessment of socio-economic impacts
- Built environment, protection of cultural heritage
- Climate risk assessment
- Disaster management analysis
- Flora and fauna protection
- Landscape protection
- Noise and Vibration
- Soil and groundwater protection
- Surface water protection
- Water Framework Directive (WFD) Assessment

- Under-Construction Environmental Plan
Key components in our land remediation studies:
-
Site Assessment:
- Identify Contaminants: Determine the types and concentrations of contaminants present in the soil or groundwater.
- Site History: Investigate the historical use of the land to understand the source and extent of contamination.
- Pathways and Receptors: Assess how contaminants may migrate through soil, water, or air, and identify potential receptors (organisms or humans) that may be affected.
- Sampilng and laboratory analysis
- Hydrogeological modelling
-
Risk Assessment:
- Evaluate Risks: Assess the potential risks posed by the contaminants to human health, ecosystems, and the surrounding environment.
- Exposure Pathways: Identify how people or wildlife may come into contact with contaminants and evaluate the associated health and ecological risks.
-
Remediation Options Analysis:
- Explore Technologies: Consider various remediation technologies suitable for the specific contaminants and site conditions. This could include physical, chemical, or biological methods.
- Feasibility: Assess the feasibility of each remediation option, considering factors like cost, effectiveness, and time required for implementation.
-
Remediation Plan Development:
- Detailed Strategy: Develop a detailed plan outlining the chosen remediation approach, including the specific steps, timeline, and resources required.
- Compliance: Ensure that the remediation plan aligns with local regulations and standards.
-
Implementation and Monitoring:
- Execute Plan: Implement the chosen remediation measures according to the established plan.
- Monitoring: Continuously monitor the progress of remediation activities and assess the effectiveness of the chosen methods.
-
Verification and Closure:
- Confirm Clean-Up: Verify that the remediation goals have been achieved and that contaminant levels are within acceptable limits.
- Regulatory Compliance: Demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements and obtain necessary approvals for closure.
Land remediation studies play a crucial role in addressing environmental contamination issues, promoting sustainable land use, and safeguarding human health and ecosystems.
