Environmental Studies

The implementation of environmental prevention tools (Environmental Impact Assessment, Strategic Environmental Studies, etc) sometimes requires a deep understanding of the medium. To do this, INERCO has the tools and adequate technical staff to carry out studies to understans the environmental situation in question. Among them:

Wildlife studies (terrestrial and marine).

Landscape Studies.

Limnological studies.

Archaeological Interventions.

Socioeconomic Studies.

Hydrological studies, etc.

After setting up a project or plan, legislation requires an adequate environmental monitoring program. INERCO has vast experience in environmental monitoring of infrastructural and industrial activities in the sectors of transport, energy, mining etc.
