Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) With the starting point at the needs and requirements of our clients, Orbicon prepares Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for both land- and marine-based projects in Denmark and abroad. For our international activities, we have an extensive network of partners with whom we cooperate due to ensure that all activities are carried out in accordance to local standards and requirements wherever we work.
EIA is a multi-disciplinary task and requires a broad basis of professional experience. We handle general project management in the EIA process as well as assessments of specific ecological and environmental issues.
A prerequisite for a successful EIA is a constructive dialogue based on sound technical and professional judgment. Orbicon possesses the know-how. During the resent years Orbicon has provided intensive assistance on EIA for the mining industry in Greenland.
