Developing our regions involves numerous challenges – societal and environmental, as well as economic. Our aim is to design projects that have the lowest possible impact on the environment, which do not require exorbitant natural resources and energy, and which are accepted by residents. The environment is a real lever for creating appeal.
Environmental engineering in regions.
We are involved in all transport infrastructure projects: land (rail, road, urban), air (airport), river (canals), maritime (ports) and energy (electricity, gas), as well as urban and coastal development and development work related to renewable energies (photovoltaic, onshore and offshore wind power).
As a stakeholder involved in these developments, we identify possible levers for improving the environmental performance of projects, we coordinate the eco-approach and we get our pool of experts involved so as to put forward pragmatic measures that address the operational challenges of your projects.
As such, we support our clients in managing regulatory procedures (environmental assessments, public utility declarations, environmental authorisations for works installations and installations classified for environmental protection, exemption requests for protected species, harmonising urban development documents, etc.) and provide assistance with administrative consultation initiatives.
Biodiversity and Environmental engineering.
Our teams firmly believe that factoring biodiversity into the life cycle of your projects is key to their success, so they provide expertise and strategic advice on how to incorporate eco-design into them and ensure that the works and operations phases run smoothly.
Thanks to our team of ecologists who combine expertise in nature and engineering, we can undertake field investigations for you and provide you with appropriate advice on minimising impact, sizing solutions and meeting the regulatory requirement of ensuring no loss to biodiversity.
As a major player in environmental engineering, Egis is also involved in managing compensatory measures – on renaturation projects and environmental monitoring of worksites.
And the assessors in our team can support construction companies, helping them to get their projects certified (BiodiverCity®, BREEAM, HQE, etc.).
