We have extensive experience in many kinds of environmental compliance and permissions procurement including:

• Discharge Licences
• Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
• Planning Permissions
• Intergraded Pollution Prevention Control (IPPC)
• Waste Management Permissions
• Waste Licences
• Waste Facility Permits
• Waste Collection Permits
• Certificates of Registration
• Waste broker/dealer applications

We can tailor our services to handle part or all of your permission procurement and ongoing compliance in an economical and environmentally responsible manner.

We offer a range of ecological services including:

• Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA)
• Extended Phase I Habitat Surveys
• Phase II Flora & Fauna Surveys
• Protected Species License Applications
• Appropriate Assessments
• Specialist Habitat Design
• Pollution Impact Assessment
• Pre-Construction Ecological Surveys

All ecological fieldwork and reporting is carried out by a qualified and accredited ecologist following relevant EU legislation.

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) are required for a range of different developments. We offer a comprehensive environmental impact assessment service and can carry out a number of EIA requirements in-house including hydrology, geology, flora and fauna among others. We can also project manage specialist contractors (e.g. archaeologists) when required to ensure your environmental impact statement is prepared in an efficient and economical manner to the highest standards.

For smaller developments which do not require EIAs we have complied Environmental (or Planning) Statements which identify and assesse potential environmental impacts while not necessarily going into the level of detail of an EIA.

We provide environmental monitoring and investigation services in a number of disciplines to internationally recognised standards. These include:

• Air
• Dust, both occupational and emissions
• Particulates
• Noise
• Odour
• Soil (Quality, Geology & Gas
• Waste Classification & Characterisation
• Water
• Drinking water
• Effluent
• Groundwater
• Surface water (including biological and flow assessments)

We have a range of in-house environmental equipment and have built strong relationships with accredited laboratories which allows us to provide cost effective monitoring to the highest standards.

We can provide a range of services to individuals or organisations interested in investigating the renewable energy potential of their site, including:

• Site Surveys for one off wind, hydro and PV installations
• Wind resource assessment for turbines up to 250kW
• Micro-hydro power site assessment
• Grant applications
• Environmental assessment and provision of Planning Statements or EIAs.

We can provide independent advice and assist on system design to ensure the right renewable technology is installed at specific sites to maximise investment returns.

We can provide a range of services relating to the investigation, risk assessment and management of potentially contaminated sites or sites which may have been subject to unregulated waste activities including:

• Contaminated Land Investigations - Tier I, II and III
• Section 55 response and close-out
• Conceptual Site Model formulation and pollution linkage assessment
• Contaminant Transport Modelling
• Intrusive and non-intrusive ground investigations
• Environmental monitoring and data interpretation
• Remediation Options Appraisal
• Implementation and Validation

Contaminated Land matters require a carefully planned, integrated approach to assess and quantify risks to potential receptors. Remediation options can then be assessed which manage the specific risks identified for a site. We follow Irish and UK recognised standards and best practice in all areas of our operation.

We provide a range of specialist hydrological and hydrogeological services relating to extraction or contamination of controlled water bodies including:

• Hydrogeological Reporting and Investigations
• Aquifer Classification
• Groundwater Risk Assessments
• Source Protection Zone Delineation
• Drilling supervision
• Sustainable yield assessments
• Natural Mineral Water Certification application
• Monitoring
• Flow gauging
• Physio-chemical assessments
• Surface water Management Plans and Design (SUDs and culverts)
• Discharge Licence Applications and Compliance

Our hydrological and hydrogeological experience ranges from small domestic to large industrial and commercial projects. Please feel free to contact us for further details or to discuss your requirements.

We provide a comprehensive range of services relating to the waste sector including:

• Waste Permissions
• Waste Licences
• Waste Facility Permits
• Waste Collection Permits
• Certificates of Registration
• Waste broker/dealer applications
• Validated Waste Site Scoping and Selection
• Unregulated waste investigation
• Section 55 response and close-out
• Waste Audits and Characterisation Studies
• Environmental Management Plan (EMS) preparation

We also assist in maintaining the above permissions through compliance monitoring, compiling annual reports/returns, liaising with the Regulator and any other associated work which frees you to focus on your core business.
