Environmental Impact Assessment Environmental assessment is an important technique and process to ensure that the likely effects of new development on the environment are fully understood and taken into account before the development is allowed to proceed. Many projects have the potential to cause environmental problems because of their impacts on the environment or because they locate sensitive receivers near a source of pollution. AEC offers comprehensive consultancy service which include gathering detailed information of the proposed project and preparing the Initial Environmental Assessment (IEA), and any subsequent documentation required during the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, including specialist reports on the work and findings of the EIA study itself.
