Environmental Monitoring and Assessment

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment (EM) define the procedures and exercises required to evaluate the quality of the environment. We offer atmospheric management in transportation, power, mining, manufacturing, oil and gas, metals, waste management, architects, interior designers and others.

From conceptual simulations of proposed projects to mitigation engineering of existing situations, our team of engineers, scientists and technical specialists assist industry and government in addressing today’s full range of atmospheric issues.

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment (EM) is from conceptual simulations of proposed projects to mitigation engineering of existing situations to address full range of environmental risk and impact.
