Overview

What this service covers

Baseline characterisation of a site, prediction of how a proposed activity will change it, and the mitigation and monitoring commitments that follow. The study is the document a reviewer reads first.

Our approach

How we run it

Scope agreed in writing, field baseline collected to referenced methods, impacts predicted against that baseline, then reporting in the format the reviewer expects. Each stage names the standard applied.

Free consultation

A prediction is only as good as the baseline behind it.

Applicability

Who this is for

Industrial facilities

Process changes and expansions usually trigger a fresh assessment rather than an amendment to the old one.

Infrastructure projects

Linear schemes cross several receptor types, so the baseline has to cover the whole corridor, not the endpoints.

Extraction sites

Assessment has to look past the working life of the site to the rehabilitation obligation that follows it.

Questions

Common questions

How early should the study start?
Before the design is fixed. A baseline commissioned after layout decisions are made often finds a constraint that forces rework.
What if a survey window has passed?
Some parameters can only be surveyed at certain times of year. We tell you at scoping rather than discovering it mid-project.
Do you handle reviewer queries?
Yes. The people who prepared the study answer the questions on it.
