ABOUT THE AREA

Consolidated experience in high-complexity projects.

Over 30 years leading sensitive projects for national and multinational companies, with technical rigor and a strategic understanding of the client's context.

Licensing projects with potential for degradation requires consistent studies aligned with current legislation and the local context. It is a technical process—and also a political, regulatory, and strategic one.

The Environmental Impact Assessment identifies, forecasts, and evaluates the effects of activities and projects on the environment. The result is a prospective framework that supports decision-making on measures to avoid, reduce, or offset socio-environmental impacts.

We operate across the entire spectrum of environmental management, from studies for obtaining licenses to the design and implementation support of the Environmental Management Plan.

Our scope includes:
  • Environmental Feasibility Studies
  • Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA-RIMA, RAS, EAS)
  • Environmental Licensing for Projects
  • Environmental Management Plans
  • Technical advisory with regulatory agencies
  • Support for permit conditions and Action Plans
SELECTED CASES
