Assessment & Permitting
Using science to meet regulations
Need to meet regulatory requirements? We work with you to prepare permit applications and environmental assessments that obtain the required information. We also provide permitting strategy, environmental assessment and application preparation, and technical support for projects that require municipal, provincial/state, and federal environmental approvals and licenses.
Our in-house experts across the globe collect and analyze atmospheric, aquatic, terrestrial, and socioeconomic data to support assessment and permitting efforts to help keep your project moving forward. Calling on their excellent working relationships with regulatory agencies, those experts streamline your permitting efforts and help you engage in effective approaches to regulatory approvals.
Solid, defensible applications need to be supported by data. We collect and interpret the data so you can deliver a project that serves your needs and safeguards the communities you work in.
