Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an integral part of planning and development particularly in Singapore. It is a process by which the anticipated effects on the environment of a proposed development are measured to inform the decision making process. Orison QEHS has successfully delivered a considerable number of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and produced many Environmental Monitoring and Management Plans (EMMP) for a diverse range of development projects in Singapore. Our approach is to focus the Environmental Impact Assessment process upon the key issues and take a proportionate approach to the assessment to minimize project risk and maximize opportunities for success for construction companies in Singapore.We provide project developers involved in wide range of industries with the in-depth knowledge and tools needed to surpass standard environmental impact assessment requirements through all stages of a project’s life cycle.
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) in Singapore can be described as the systematic identification and evaluation of the likely impacts and effects of proposed projects, and programs relative to the physical, chemical, biological, cultural, and socio-economic components of the environment.
The key definition in the EIA process is significantly or significant impact since a proposed action that significantly affects the natural environment. Several activities are required to conduct an environmental impact study in Singapore which includes impact identification, preparation of a description of the affected environment, impact prediction and assessment, and selection of the proposed action from various alternatives being evaluated to meet proposed project requirements.
