Environment and planning
Environmental impact assessment
An environmental impact assessment (EIA) demonstrates that the impact of a planned construction project meets all environmental legislation requirements. Key to this is careful project planning.
Environmental building management
Environmental building management ensures that projects comply with environmental regulations and requirements. We recommend that you involve environmental specialists at an early stage of your project. This will reduce environmental damage and subsequent costs.
Soil protection
Fertile soil is extremely valuable – but it is becoming increasingly scarce. We assess soil quality and develop measures to protect this important resource.
Nature and the landscape
Growing residential areas and increasing recreational pursuits take their toll on our natural areas. We will help you to take appropriate measures to alleviate land-use conflicts and conserve nature and the environment.
Waste management
In the future, there will be an even greater imperative to reuse and recycle materials. What does this mean for waste management? We provide guidance and will work with you to develop effective solutions for recycling and disposing of your waste.
Environmental studies and applied research
On behalf of the Swiss government, we regularly carry out research studies with a strongly practical focus. Examples include basic principles for improving environmental performance or studies on the future of energy.
