Services
Environmental Permit Applications
We specialise in securing environmental permits for waste management sites under the Environmental Permitting Regulations. Our services cover standard rules permits, bespoke permits, and permit variations. We prepare essential documentation including environmental management systems, fire prevention plans, and site risk assessments to ensure compliance with Environment Agency requirements.
Fire Prevention Plans
Our fire prevention plans meet Environment Agency requirements for permitted waste sites. We develop site-specific strategies addressing stockpile management, fire detection systems, ignition control, and staff training. Our plans ensure compliance with regulatory standards while minimising fire risks to protect operations and the environment.
Environmental Management Systems
We design and implement environmental management systems compliant with regulatory guidelines. Our systems help sites monitor environmental performance, manage compliance obligations, and demonstrate commitment to sustainability. We support both ISO 14001-certified systems and bespoke solutions tailored to specific operational needs.
COTC Cover
We provide COTC-qualified personnel to meet regulatory requirements for waste site operations. Our technically competent managers ensure compliance with environmental permitting regulations through regular site attendance, compliance monitoring, and regulatory reporting. This service supports ongoing compliance without the need for full-time employment.
Climate Change Risk Assessment
We conduct climate change risk assessments to evaluate site vulnerabilities under future climate scenarios. Our assessments address temperature increases, extreme weather events, and infrastructure resilience. These evaluations help sites develop adaptation strategies to maintain compliance and operational continuity under changing environmental conditions.
