Request
The environmental monitoring focused on four main aspects, namely:
- General works practices
- Air quality (dust)
- Noise
- Marine Environment
Our Input:
Regular Site Inspections
To ensure that the contractor and all works were conforming to the Environmental Regulations and permit conditions.
Installation of a silk curtain
To minimise the adverse impact on the marine environment (posidonia oceanica), to contain any material and suspended matter within a confined area, on protected species and habitats, to assess from the land by visual inspections, and from underwater via SCUBA diving surveys.
Noise Monitoring
Done by using specialized equipment to ensure the construction noise levels did not exceed safety thresholds.
Results
Works on site started in July 2019 and were completed within 18 months.
The AIS team monitored the sites in line with the development permit conditions, guiding the contractors and operators along the way.
We also liaised with ERA on behalf of the client, to ensure a smooth process.
