Environmental Planning

Taking environmental issues into account has become an essential part of all kinds of project planning, both planning activities of public authorities as well as those performed by private companies. However, formal and practical requirements linked to this issue have become so complex, that specialist expertise and consultancy services during all planning phases become more and more important. 

This is one of BIOCONSULT's main areas of specialization. 

We have both the capability and experience to prepare tailor-made solutions for the integration of environmental issues into different kinds of projects. The solutions will be well adapted to the different degrees of complexity and may contain:

• Scoping; identification of the relevant focal issues to be addressed during the planning process
• Data inventory; compilation and presentation of relevant environmental information
• Environmental two-way consultancy during all phases of the planning process
• Environmental impact assessments
• Planning of mitigation and compensation measures
• Environmental Protection Plans for construction and operation
• Monitoring programmes
• Audit of the planning process under environmental aspects.

A step by step but nevertheless continously implementation of these environmental issues into the planning process from the early beginning will ensure environmental protection on one hand, on the other hand it will facilitate cost-efficiency during the planning and construction process.

BIOCONSULT is able to carry out the management for all environmental issues within a project and to perform all required work or individual sections. We are working directly for clients such as private companies and public authorities as well as for engineering consultancies.
