Environmental assessments are a vital part of the design and approval process for all scales of infrastructure projects. At Stantec, we support our clients through the effective use of collaborative digital solutions that are applied throughout the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process.
Through digital EIA, our technical experts collect and review environmental data to develop an understanding of the environmental and social impacts of your projects early in the planning stage. This empowers you to make informed decisions that protect and enhance the natural environment and meet UK regulations.
Digital tools and technologies including geographic information systems (GIS) and augmented reality have long been embedded in our impact assessment practices. We are at the forefront of assessment practices, enhancing community and stakeholder engagement strategies, and introducing new digital innovations so that we can deliver cost-effective, time-efficient impact assessments.

"headline": "Digital Impact Assessments",

Digital impact assessments are more than just innovative methods of reporting, they’re about using digital practices throughout the impact assessment process. This includes EIA and other assessments, such as strategic environmental assessments (SEA), sustainability appraisals (SA), health impact assessments (HIA), habitats regulations assessments (HRA), and other non-statutory assessments.
A digital impact assessment is a collection of collaborative digital solutions that are applied throughout the impact assessment process. Taking the EIA process as an example, we can use digital methods throughout that process, from data collection and surveys to modelling, visuals, and analysis.
They can also be used throughout the project lifecycle and continue through the discharge of conditions, construction, operation, and decommissioning of projects.
