Environmental Assessment

gmi Consulting offers unique and innovative alternative solutions based on legal, technical and scientific principles that enable the incorporation of natural resources as one more of a project’s assets, thus ensuring a project’s legal, technical, environmental and land use feasibility. 

Our certified experts and technicians specializing in different areas of the earth sciences, biology, ecology and sustainability provide our approach to environmental projects with an interdisciplinary vision.

We conduct environmental and land use feasibility studies from the planning phase as well as such zoning and environmental characterization studies as will enable us to determine a project’s technical and legal viability. We provide projects with operational support via auditing, supervisory and environmental operation activities, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory terms and conditions applicable in each particular case.

Most of the social conflicts that jeopardize projects are triggered by environmental factors, which is why we pay particular attention to those issues that could generate social opposition, either during the authorization, construction or operations phase.

We incorporate a project’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in complete interrelation with the Social Impact Assessment in order to clearly identify environmental impacts that could have a social impact. In this way, we take particular care so that preventive, compensatory or mitigating environmental measures not only comply with the technical and scientific principles that are necessary from an environmental standpoint, but also address the concerns of communities within the area of influence so the project will be fully accepted by the area’s inhabitants.
