EIA/SIA

Successful projects require environmentally sound designing and socially acceptable implementation. 

An area to which we continue to contribute regularly as with our other areas of endeavour. Arkitechno has always been able to maintain itself in the forefront of consulting services by becoming a generator of new ideas, methods and techniques for social and environmental assessments.

In the past, we have carried out detailed environmental, ecological and socio-economic investigations, and have undertaken impact assessment for major infrastructure development schemes. From identifying strategic options to monitoring and evaluation on completion of projects, we can handle environmental and socio-economic issues to be addressed at various stages of the project. We have always met, and even gone beyond, the regulatory requirements of the MoEF, GOL, and funding agencies’ guidelines like The World Bank, The Asian Development Bank, CIDA and IL&FS for Environmental and Social assessments in development projects.

Arkitechno undertakes environmental assessment of large infrastructure projects to assess the projects’ potential environmental risks. This entails review of natural environment (air, water and land), human health and safety, project-related social issues (involuntary resettlement, indigenous peoples and cultural property), trans-boundary issues, and global environmental aspects. Design of environmental management plans, mitigation measures and social resettlement plans are some of the key areas of our expertise.
