Environmental Engineering and Management

A wealth of experience in waste management, pollution control and environmental management systems.

Environmental work divides into two halves that are usually commissioned together. One is engineering: the technology that treats a waste stream, cleans a discharge or recovers a contaminated site. The other is assessment and management: the studies, reports and systems that establish what a development will do to its surroundings and demonstrate how that is being controlled.

Taking both from one practice means the commitments written into an assessment are ones the engineering can actually deliver, rather than undertakings made on paper and inherited later by whoever has to meet them.

Environmental engineering services

  • Waste management systems and technologies for municipal solid waste and industrial waste, including chemical, hazardous, infectious, NORM and radioactive, and asbestos streams — landfill, incineration, pyrolysis and bioremediation
  • Air pollution control, including flue gas and particulates cleaning
  • Water pollution control and treatment technologies: filtration and sorption, ion exchange, oil interceptors and separators, primary treatment, biological treatment and sludge treatment
  • Contaminated soils and solids treatment
  • Decommissioning and site remediation
  • Landfill and contaminated land reclamation

Environmental compliance and management

  • Environmental Impact Assessment, including scoping report, Environmental Impact Statement and full EIA report
  • Environmental quality monitoring and assessment
  • Annual environmental reports
  • Environmental Management Plans, including Preliminary Environmental Reports
  • Environmental management systems to ISO 14001:2015
  • Environmental audits

We treat management documents as working documents. Getting stakeholders to participate actively in meeting your Environmental Management Plan commitments matters more than the report itself, so we provide awareness training and support for site personnel, and set out actionable strategies, roadmaps and a tracking register so commitments are implemented rather than filed.

Common questions

What does an Environmental Impact Assessment from ENVISOL include?

The scoping report, the Environmental Impact Statement and the full EIA report. We also prepare Environmental Management Plans, including Preliminary Environmental Reports, and the annual environmental reports that follow once a development is operating.

Do you set up environmental management systems as well as assess?

Yes. We build environmental management systems to ISO 14001:2015 and carry out environmental audits, and we treat the resulting documents as working ones — with awareness training for site personnel and a tracking register, so commitments are implemented rather than filed.

Can the work be commissioned in phases?

Yes. We break an engagement into phases that fit your budget rather than presenting a single figure to accept or decline. You can commission a study, act on it, and come back for the next stage.

Do you work outside Takoradi?

Yes. We are based in Takoradi in the Western Region and work with start-ups, small and medium enterprises and established operators across Ghana.

Most engagements draw on more than one of our five themes. All of them can also be commissioned together, as an operations consulting engagement.
