ERM has over 30 years experience of providing  Impact Assessment and Planning (IAP) input to projects in the land development, transport, infrastructure, mining, oil & gas and power production sectors. Our goal is always the same: assisting our clients to get their projects planned, built and operated on schedule, while meeting their own expectations for management of impacts on the local population and environmental, social and cultural resources. By helping clients bring these issues into the project planning process early we achieve environmental objectives; enable savings in capital and operating costs; and avoid significant approval and other delays.

ERM combines experience with global standards, such as the Equator Principles and International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standards, with a thorough understanding of local regulatory systems and cultural sensitivities.  We apply state of the art assessment tools, from GIS to noise and air dispersion modeling and visualization techniques. Where appropriate, we can also integrate social and health impact assessments into the process.
