Projects with Special Requirements
Some projects require the environmental, territorial, hydrogeological and technical conditions of a site to be considered alongside the characteristics of the proposed activity from the earliest planning stages.
We assess the site and the project to identify the factors that need consideration, the information that may require more detailed investigation, and how to organize the next stages of assessment and regulatory procedures.
Some projects depend heavily on site conditions
For certain activities, site selection, the layout of facilities and environmental conditions must be assessed together from the earliest stages.
For these projects, it is not enough to consider only the intended activity. It is also important to understand its interactions with water, subsurface conditions, protected areas, territorial constraints and other site-specific factors.
A condition identified at the outset may change where a facility is located, call for further investigation, influence the design or determine which procedures should be undertaken later.
This is why these projects benefit from an early site assessment and, where appropriate, an environmental constraints assessment of the property.
Main project types we support
This category focuses on activities for which the site’s environmental and territorial conditions are particularly important to project design and regulatory management.
Gas Stations and Fuel-Related Projects
Site assessment and technical coordination for projects involving fuel storage and dispensing, where environmental, hydrogeological and territorial conditions require particular consideration.
Site Assessments for Cemeteries
Assessment of territorial, geological, hydrogeological, topographic and environmental conditions relevant to cemetery siting and planning.
Wastewater Treatment Systems
Territorial and environmental assessment of proposed treatment system sites, taking into account nearby water bodies, wells, infiltration, drainage and ground conditions.
How do we approach these projects?
The scope depends on the type of activity, site conditions and the stage of development. Not every project requires the same studies or procedures.
Understand the project
We identify the activity, its scale, the current stage and the main issues that need to be addressed.
Assess the site
We examine territorial, environmental, hydrogeological and physical conditions that may be relevant to the project.
Identify what needs further investigation
We determine which questions require verification, technical studies or additional information before proceeding.
Different disciplines may contribute to the assessment
A project may need to integrate hydrogeology and groundwater , geology, soils and geotechnical services , water resources or natural hazards , depending on the conditions identified.
Technical studies address specific questions
When a condition calls for more detailed investigation, we identify the technical information that can support subsequent decisions or regulatory procedures.
Planning a project with specific requirements?
Tell us the location, type of activity and current stage of your project. We can make an initial review of site conditions and help identify what should be assessed, studied or addressed through regulatory procedures before moving forward.
