What is an Environmental Risk Assessment?

An Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) is a systematic process used to identify potential environmental hazards and evaluate the risks associated with a land development or industrial project. This is a critical step for ensuring regulatory compliance, securing planning permission, and demonstrating environmental stewardship. A thorough ERA protects your project from unforeseen liabilities and ensures its long-term viability by creating a clear strategy to manage and mitigate any negative impacts on the surrounding ecosystem.

Our Environmental Assessment Services

We offer a phased approach to risk assessment, tailored to your project’s specific needs.

Phase 1 Desk Study: We conduct a comprehensive review of historical and current data, including site history, geology, and regulatory records, to identify potential contamination risks without intrusive investigation.
Phase 2 Intrusive Site Investigation: If the desk study identifies potential risks, we perform physical site investigations. This includes soil and groundwater sampling and laboratory analysis to quantify the nature and extent of any contamination.
Flood Risk Assessments (FRA): We analyze flood risk from all sources to support planning applications, satisfying both local and Environment Agency requirements and ensuring your development is safe and resilient.
Ecological & Biodiversity Surveys: Our qualified ecologists assess a site’s value for wildlife, identifying protected species and habitats. We provide mitigation strategies to ensure your project achieves a net gain for biodiversity.
