We take pride in the integration of environmental considerations with all our work. It is an intrinsic part of our culture to achieve a balance of environmental considerations within infrastructure projects, especially as part of the early planning or EIA process.

Illustrating the broad scope of our portfolio are projects such as:

• planning for a new tunnel beneath the Devil’s Punchbowl on the main road between London and the south coast of England, to restore the area to its natural beauty and serenity while avoiding pollution of local water resources and protecting vulnerable species
• helping understand and better protect the rich biodiversity of West Tien Shan’s national parks, a unique area extending through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and
• advising 3 Rivers Wet Weather, a non-profit body in the USA helping 83 communities tackle sewage overflow problems together through federally funded grants
