Environmental Engineering
The introduction of both environmental legislation in 1994 and the Integrated Planning Act in 1998 has brought about considerable changes to the way in which business operates and development occurs. This has since been followed by the introduction of coastal management legislation and revisions to the management of contaminated land. The increasing demands and challenges resulting from these changes require unique and innovative solutions to comply with environmental “due diligence” requirements.
Project Services believes that early involvement of the environmental
engineering group in any built or natural environment project will ensure a
final product that minimises potential environmental impacts and optimises
environmentally sustainable outcomes.
