Mott MacDonald has over 20 years’ experience of complex and challenging environmental impact assessments (EIA) and of writing environmental statements for a wide range of projects. These include some of the world’s largest infrastructure, engineering and development projects.
Clients recognise the benefits that we bring to their project because of our in-house expertise not just in all environmental disciplines, but also in other related areas. We offer a complete, integrated service covering all phases of developments from master planning to EIA, and from strategic environmental assessment to construction environmental management plans.
We're engaged during the earliest stages of a project's conceptualisation not only to ensure legal compliance and adoption of best practice standards, but also because our EIA studies are valuable tools for identifying potential problems during the initial planning and design process. We identify ‘show-stoppers’ and cost-effective solutions as well as design mitigations as projects develop.
Mott MacDonald is a corporate member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment and hold its EIA Quality Mark.
