Environmental Monitoring & Compliance Reporting
We design and implement monitoring programmes that demonstrate ongoing compliance with NCEC permit conditions and protect projects from enforcement risk.
Comprehensive monitoring and analysis of outdoor air quality to help organizations ensure regulatory compliance while minimizing environmental impact. We monitor key pollutants including particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using advanced monitoring equipment and methodologies. Our services provide regulatory compliance, data-driven decision-making, and support environmental responsibility through a combination of continuous monitoring stations, manual sampling, passive samplers, and air dispersion modeling.
