Environmental Impact Assessment

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Services

At AWN Consulting, we provide comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) services, ensuring that projects meet regulatory requirements while minimising their environmental impact. Our team of experts is highly experienced in delivering EIAs for some of the most complex projects in Ireland. We cover a wide range of environmental topics, including air quality, climate, soils and geology, material assets, hydrogeology, and noise and vibration. Additionally, we are skilled in co-ordinating EIA documents with other consultants and managing the entire process efficiently.

Comprehensive Expertise Across Key Environmental Topics

Our multidisciplinary team specialises in addressing the following EIA components:

• Air Quality: We assess the impact of emissions during construction and operational phases, including dust, particulates, and pollutants. Our studies ensure compliance with air quality standards and recommend mitigation measures to minimise environmental and health impacts.
• Climate: We evaluate the potential climate impacts of projects, including greenhouse gas emissions and climate adaptation strategies. Our assessments align with national and international climate policies, ensuring sustainable outcomes.
• Soils and Geology: Our experts analyse the impact of developments on soil quality, stability, and geological resources. We identify risks such as contamination or erosion and provide strategies to mitigate adverse effects.
• Material Assets: We assess the impact on physical infrastructure, utilities, and natural resources, ensuring that material assets are preserved or enhanced during project implementation.
• Hydrogeology: Our hydrogeological assessments evaluate the potential effects on groundwater resources, including quality, quantity, and flow. We provide robust mitigation measures to protect aquifers and water supplies.
• Noise and Vibration: We assess the potential noise and vibration impacts on surrounding communities and sensitive receptors. Using advanced modelling and measurement techniques, we deliver strategies to meet regulatory limits and minimise disturbance.
