About Environmental Assessment
The environmental performance of a company is becoming more and more important as environmental regulation increases and both customers and other stakeholders focus on this as an issue. These groups have become more aware of the impacts on society of key environmental issues including climate change, biodiversity loss and sustainability. The environment is the source of all resources and the sink for all waste.
It is well known that economic activities can have a significant impact on the environment and environmental performance improvement can lead to reduced costs and improved business efficiency.
By carrying out a thorough environmental assessment for your company we can identify that:
- You are complying with all relevant legislation;
- You have a central register of all current permits, licences, drawings etc;
- You have compiled all available geological and survey results for your site including any known pollution events;
- You are controlling all significant aspects that could have a negative impact on the environment;
- Inputs and outputs are identified, including areas where improvements could be made;
- You have emergency plans in place that cover all likely scenarios;
- You have identified additional training needs.
Results you should expect
Following the environmental assessment you should have a clear baseline as to where the company is at present and where action is required to meet legal requirements and improve environmental performance. If the company is planning to achieve a formal accreditation for an environmental management system such as ISO 14001 the environmental assessment is a vital first step towards this goal enabling you to identify areas where improvements are required.

Featured Case Study
Client: Volkerfitzpatrick HOCHTIEF JV
Sector: Construction
MESH Consultants was commissioned by Volkerfitzpatrick HOCHTIEF JV to conduct a baseline noise survey at the East Kent Access Phase 2 Project to quantify the existing noise levels at the nearest Noise Control Stations (NCSs) and quantify any noise sources that impacted on the site.
The noise survey was conducted in May 2010 to quantify the existing ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the proposed site. A combination of short term attended measurements and long term unattended measurements were used to assess the ambient noise climate along with quantification of noise sources. The findings were then reported back in a detailed report to Volkerfitzpatrick HOCHTIEF JV.
The method used in the baseline noise survey was based upon the relevant parts of BS 7445.
