Understanding the nature and interactivity of our planet's physical characteristics is vital for managing risks.

We have teams experienced in all aspects of geosciences, to assist clients to assess and manage challenges associated with water, land, air and ecosystems, which can impact project development and the operation of assets. In particular, we understand contamination issues, and how to assess, manage and remediate potential hazards, for lasting community benefit.
