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. Also, by addressing issues such as sensitive habitats, historic or archaeological resources, and hazardous materials can drive up your projects’ legitimacy. Whether your goal is to conduct business or harness the potential of a specific location, accurate environmental assessments are a must to create sound engineering designs, effective stakeholder management, successful permitting and ultimately, help you to have most minimal environmental impacts.

In expecting 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. Our support for expert regulatory negotiations throughout the project help resolve technical and external stakeholder issues and create favourable permit conditions while achieving the ultimate goals of maintaining project schedules and ensuring compliance.

This method has contributed to successful projects for our clients in a broad range of government, energy (oil and gas), industrial (mining and real-estate), and waste disposal across Africa. Through our broad impact analysis, assessment and permitting practice, our experience serves to achieve our client's goals, ensuring that they are operating according to their own business requirements as well as complying with regulatory requirements.

With the increase in knowledge and concerns about the damages of human activities on our natural environment, there has been a significant increase in the level of legal reporting required from industries on their environmental performance. This reporting includes a variety of reports covering such topics as discharge monitoring, waste management, environmental surveys and environmental management programmes. In certain cases, reports are required to be submitted frequently during the year but where appropriate these reports are combined for submission as part of an Annual Environmental Report (AER).

The AER comprises summary reports on all aspects of the environmental performance of your organization, with chapters on specific areas such as waste management, resource consumption (energy and water) and emissions to air and waters. The AER often brings together a number of individual reports under one cover, and allows for effective evaluation of the environmental issues on the operations of the organization. We at CERPA Consulting Ltd. can advise and assist you on drawing up your AER to be logical and concise, thereby making maximum use of the information recorded to all concerned. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

For the above services we draw on the full range of in-house technical specialists covering ecology, noise, social-economics and community issues, landscape and visual, land contamination, waste, air quality and water.
