Environmental Assessment & Planning
Guiding Projects Through Environmental Approvals
We help clients navigate environmental regulations and integrate sustainability from project concept to completion. Combining technical expertise with community collaboration, we deliver responsible, compliant, and successful projects.
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)
Identifying & Mitigating Environmental Risks
We prepare Environmental Impact Assessments for provincial and federal processes, identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential project effects.
With experience managing EIAs for major developments since 1998, our senior experts provide strategic guidance in navigating environmental legislation. By collaborating with regulators and stakeholders, we deliver practical, cost-effective solutions—sometimes even reducing the need for full EIAs through smart project scoping and environmental strategy.
Permitting & Regulatory Approvals
Ensuring Clear, Compliant Approvals
We manage permitting and regulatory approvals across jurisdictions and sectors, helping clients navigate environmental responsibilities and secure the approvals needed to move projects forward efficiently.
Our services include:
-
Project scoping and site or route selection
-
Indigenous consultation
-
Engagement with regulators, landowners, and the public
-
Preparation of documentation for all required approvals
With decades of experience, we specialize in approvals for mining, energy, infrastructure, and industrial projects across Canada.
Conservation & Restoration Planning
From Strategy to Certification
We develop and implement Conservation & Restoration (C&R) plans across Canada for projects such as pipelines, landfills, mines, and SAGD facilities.
Our multidisciplinary team manages pre-disturbance assessments, decommissioning, revegetation, post-closure monitoring, and regulatory engagement. With over five decades of experience, we deliver practical plans that meet stakeholder expectations and regulatory requirements.
Baseline & Biophysical Studies
Documenting Environmental Conditions
We collect baseline environmental data, using GIS and analytics to support informed decision-making.
Our cross-functional teams of biologists, soil scientists, and specialists deliver scalable biophysical assessments for urban and remote environments. Through cost-efficient, multidisciplinary fieldwork, we help clients identify and address potential issues early in the project lifecycle.
Cumulative Effects & Land-Use Planning
Planning for Sustainable Landscapes
We assess regional environmental changes and evaluate cumulative effects to support adaptive land-use planning. Our work helps guide sustainable development and long-term environmental management.
Indigenous & Stakeholder Engagement
Building Trust Through Collaboration
We foster meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities and stakeholders, co-developing solutions that respect cultural values and protect the environment.
Environmental Management Plans (EMP)
Defining Actions to Protect the Environment
We develop and implement Environmental Management Plans to ensure compliance and protect the environment throughout project construction and operation.
Our services include:
-
Baseline environmental assessments
-
Environmental plan development for construction, operations, and closure
-
Conservation and reclamation planning
-
Post-disturbance monitoring and evaluation
-
Integration of field data with regulatory requirements
We deliver tailored strategies for energy projects, pipelines, mines, and infrastructure.
Environmental Management Systems (EMS)
Building and Auditing Environmental Management Systems
We help clients create and improve Environmental Management Systems (EMS) that strengthen compliance, reduce risk, and support sustainable operations. MEMS also performs EMS audits to identify gaps and drive continuous improvement.
