Construction Environmental Management, Permitting & Approvals

Cardno’s world-class environmental management services drive positive outcomes for our construction clients and the environment. We’re not just professional consultants – our team has worked at the construction coalface, so we bring an experienced and practical approach to the job, that also benefits the constructor.

We work collaboratively to foster buy-in and support, building a productive project environment. In addition, our detailed working knowledge of regulations, legislation and standards across Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region ensures we secure the permits and approvals your project requires in a cost-effective and timely way.

Environmental Monitoring and Data Collection

Our experienced teams work in a range of environments, including alpine, marine, urban, industrial, tropical and arid, and have the necessary tools to collect a range of field-based data.

Environmental Offsets

Environmental offsets are increasingly being used as a standard measure to respond to residual impacts of projects on the environment. Cardno’s accredited experts can provide professional advice on if, when, and what type of offset may be required, then prepare and implement offset strategies and monitor their implementation.

Offsets are often required in fields such as ecology (biodiversity or threatened species offsets), water (no net loss or net gain) or carbon, but are increasingly being requested across other disciplines. Our experienced team helps our clients work through the requirements to develop effective strategies for implementation.

Land Remediation

Cardno’s land remediation experts are located in our offices around the globe. In partnership with our clients, we undertake investigations and prepare remediation action plans, coordinate with remediation contractors, and deliver compliance supervision and validation reporting. With experience working on industrial, urban, rural, mining, aquatic, and marine sites, our team of technical experts help clients to manage risk and implement successful projects.

With over 30 years of oil pollution response experience, Cardno has been involved in natural resource damage assessments and emergency responses for over 50 oil spills, in environments ranging from the Arctic to coral reefs and mangrove forests.

Cardno’s global expertise comprises highly trained technical personnel, experienced in all aspects of spill and incident response. Our multidisciplinary focus on energy, water, natural resource management, terrestrial and aquatic ecology, and ecosystem restoration projects is a key part of our comprehensive response.
