We use our experience and knowledge to identify the most appropriate solution for your project, developing a bespoke Air Quality Assessment to address your specific needs.

Dispersion modelling is recognised as a critical tool in determining potential pollutant concentrations, so it is often requested in support of Environmental Permit and planning applications.

Humans are not the only species susceptible to the effects of poor air quality, so an Ecological Air Quality Assessment may be necessary.

As urban air quality is negatively impacted by increasingly high pollution levels and our health and wellbeing is threatened, the need for air quality monitoring is growing. This monitoring could be in support of an Environmental Permit Application, a planning submission or regulatory compliance, and we offer complete testing services for all of your monitoring requirements.

We help our clients respond to the requirements of a low-carbon world. We can measure, model and report your company’s carbon output using a range of national and global standards. We can help you manage the risks and opportunities the low-carbon agenda presents, and our expertise means we can offer ‘quick-win’ carbon and energy reductions, as well as a long-term carbon transition pathway. We recognise the importance of carbon offsetting in making the transition to net-zero or carbon neutrality, and our solutions benefit the climate, biodiversity and communities.

We have a large team of experienced and qualified ecologists providing a range of ecological services including species-specific expertise, habitat creation and management, landscape design, and biodiversity net gain. This means we can fulfil all of the ecological requirements of your project, and provide you with the technical solutions you need to ensure your project outcomes are met safely and sustainably.

Legal compliance: Implementing an environmental management system can provide your organisation with a systematic set of policies, processes and procedures. This allows you to manage your environmental impact as well as improving the efficiency of your operations. A well-structured management system can help your company achieve legal compliance with environmental legislation, provide operational cost savings, reduce your environmental risk, fulfil accreditations that can help to win business, and improve staff morale.

Balancing environmental responsibility with your project outcomes is our priority.  Our team offers a range of services across the project lifecycle from site selection and appraisal of design options, through to environmental management at the construction stage and post-consent monitoring. We work within your project teams to deliver solutions designed to mitigate adverse effects and enhance the environment and community. With a depth of knowledge across environmental and social topics, our technical team takes a solution-focused, holistic approach to a project, which our clients always value.
