Understanding a proposed project’s potential environmental and social impacts and regulatory constraints is critical to the development of timely and cost-effective project plans, evaluative studies, sound engineering designs, effective stakeholder management and successful permitting.
By anticipating and addressing permit requirements early on in the project design, we help implement a permitting strategy, development schedule and mitigation plans that expedite permit acquisition and compliance. Expert regulatory negotiations throughout the project help resolve technical and external stakeholder issues and create favorable permit conditions while achieving the ultimate goals of maintaining project schedules and ensuring compliance.
This method has contributed to successful projects for a broad range of government, energy (oil and gas, wind, solar, tidal), industrial, waste disposal, utilities, mining and real-estate clients worldwide. For example, our thorough approach helped us prepare one of Australia’s largest and most comprehensive environmental impact statements and technical studies for a mining expansion project.
Across our broad impact analysis, assessment and permitting practice, our experience serves to achieve our clients’ goals, ensuring they are operating according to their own business requirements as well as complying with regulatory requirements.
