Impact Assessment
Environmental Impact Assessment
Practical environmental insight for responsible development.
Our perspective
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an integral part of planning and development. It is the process by which the anticipated effects on the environment of a proposed development are measured to inform decision making. If managed well it offers an opportunity to de-risk development and enhance reputation.
At GIPEA AFRICA, we understand the importance of a consentable development, and our aim is to achieve a successful consent with the minimum of fuss that maximises commercial viability.
GIPEA AFRICA has over 18 years' experience as advisors and project managers across various industries. Our environmental consultants give practical and effective advice, impact assessments and reports on key environmental issues — from licence application, planning and development through operations and decommissioning. Our approach streamlines the assessment process to deliver projects on time, on budget and in compliance with the latest industry standards.
We apply a threshold approach for environmental assessments using Best Available Techniques (BAT), Best Environmental Practice (BEP) and international standards to determine whether the impacts from proposed activities will exceed the threshold.
