Comprehensive environmental surveys for construction, design, and safe operation of facilities
Razvitiye-Lipetsk performs the full cycle of engineering environmental surveys in the Central Federal District and across Russia, providing reliable data on the state of the environment, anthropogenic impact factors, and environmental restrictions of the territory.
Environmental surveys are required for the design, construction, and reconstruction of facilities of any hazard category, as well as for the preparation of environmental impact assessment materials and the development of project documentation sections.
Objectives of Engineering Environmental Surveys
The purpose of environmental surveys is to ensure the environmental safety of construction and the rational use of the territory.
The surveys make it possible to:
- assess the current state of the environment on the site and adjacent territory, and identify sources of pollution;
- determine natural and anthropogenic impact factors;
- identify potential environmental risks affecting the project economics;
- forecast environmental changes during project implementation;
- substantiate the feasibility of siting and operating the facility;
- ensure compliance with environmental legislation requirements;
- prepare data for the project documentation sections "List of Environmental Protection Measures" and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
Scope of Engineering Environmental Work
Razvitiye-Lipetsk performs the full range of environmental studies, including:
1. Collection of Initial Data and Preparation of Technical Documentation
- assistance in drafting the terms of reference and preparation of the environmental research program.
- analysis of previously performed engineering environmental surveys and the client's archival materials
- requests for information from authorized bodies
- collection of information on environmental restrictions (presence/absence of areas limiting design/construction options).
2. Field Studies of Natural Environment Components
- soils and subsoils;
- ambient air;
- surface water and groundwater;
- bottom sediments;
- background radiation;
- noise and vibration impact.
- Site inspections with descriptions of natural environment components within the survey areas, with the collected information recorded in field logs. Studies are conducted using certified methods and modern laboratory equipment.
3. Desk Processing and Analysis of the Obtained Data
- data structuring,
- verification of the obtained data against current regulatory documents,
- identification of exceedances of maximum allowable concentrations (MAC),
- preparation of recommendations and measures based on the obtained information, and a forecast of natural environment changes.
4. Development of Project Documentation
- EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment);
- the "List of Environmental Protection Measures" section;
- calculation of MPE (Maximum Permissible Emissions);
- Sanitary Protection Zone (SPZ) project;
- calculation of Water Source Protection Zones (WSPZ);
- the environmental part of project documentation in accordance with expert review requirements;
- documentation for environmental authorities (Rosprirodnadzor, Rospotrebnadzor).
5. Industrial Environmental Control and Monitoring
- setting up an environmental monitoring station;
- monitoring of air, water, soil, and noise impact;
- calculation and confirmation of impact standards;
- maintaining industrial environmental control reports and logs.
Where Engineering Environmental Surveys Are Applied
Environmental studies are required:
- when developing project documentation and constructing industrial, public, and business facilities;
- when selecting land plots for construction;
- when changing the functional purpose of a territory;
- when preparing environmental permits and approvals;
Any capital construction facility must take environmental factors into account and comply with environmental standards — engineering environmental surveys make it possible to meet these requirements.
What the Client Receives
Upon completion of engineering environmental surveys, you receive:
- a complete report on the state of the environment at the site;
- laboratory test results;
- maps of environmental restrictions and a graphic section indicating sampling points and field study locations;
- recommendations and measures based on the obtained data, a forecast of natural environment changes, and, as a result, the information required for developing project documentation sections (EIA, Environmental Protection Measures, SPZ, WSPZ, MPE).
