Environmental Permitting & Approvals
When you are planning a large capital project, there are a lot of details to work out — project design, construction, siting, and technology. You also need to consider environmental, financial, and reputational risks.
Our team of engineers, scientists, and planners develop a customized approach to match your risk tolerance and guide you through the increasingly complex regulatory process. We work across multiple industries and geographies throughout Canada to provide regulatory permitting support for a variety of market sectors. Through our existing relationships with regulators and other stakeholders across Canada, we can help you concentrate your application on what is important for approval. Our agile and focused approach, combined with years of execution experience, will provide you with regulatory certainty to enable your project.
