Gissat undertakes EIAs to determine the positive and negative consequences to the environment of any proposed project in a location. This is done to ensure that decision makers consider the environmental impacts when deciding whether or not to proceed with a project. Social Impact Assessments are done to review the social effects of infrastructure projects and developments interventions.

 
This is done through a process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mitigating the biophysical, social, and other relevant effects of development proposals prior to major decisions being taken and commitments made.

·     Ecological Impact Assessments; 
Ecological Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of identifying and evaluating potential effects of development and proposed actions on habitats, species and ecosystems. The findings of an assessment can help clarify ecological issues when determining planning consent. These can be used for the appraisal of projects of any scale including the ecological component of Environmental Impact Assessments. Unlike an EIA, an EIA on its own is not a statutory requirement. It is an evaluation process to support an assessment and planning application. Gissat has a team of ecologists available to assist you in the compilation of an EIA.

·     Project Management; 
Gissat has a track record of project management of large and small-scale projects. We can offer specialized consultants with a broad range of experience, that can provide expert advice on planning, environmental compliance and waste. Our project managers have the experience to ensure projects are progressed and completed in an efficient and timely manner.

·     Environmental Due Diligence Assessments;
Environmental due diligence is the process of assessing lands to be acquired / developed, identifying actual or potential environmental liabilities arising from current or historical land usage. Gissat offers both Phase 1 Site assessments, which are generally desktop exercises and Phase II site investigation works. The information gathered during an Environmental due diligence assessment is used to identify the need for, and extent of any site remediation measures, and the likely associated costs.
