Brief Description
Environmental Impact Assessment
The overall objective of the study is to establish a baseline inventory representing the present condition and ecological status of the area prior to project execution; assess the potential environmental, health and socio-economic impacts of site preparation, construction & operational activities and recommend appropriate measures to mitigate all significant negative impacts.
Environmental Evaluation Study/Report
The main objectives of EES are:
- Establish the existing conditions of the study area thereby identifying the resources that may be affected by actions associated with the on-going operations; and
- Understand the existing operations and activities;
- Outline the environmental aspect of a project, evaluate the risk and thus identify / evaluate the levels of impact significance on the environmental resources within the area.
The key result of the EES will be the findings and recommendations that will be translated into specific actions. The Environmental Evaluation Report (EER) will also be used as basis for communication with relevant stakeholders, with reference to the issues identified during the course of the study.
Post Impact Assessment
Post Impact Assessment draws upon information gathered from the Initial Impact Assessment and is an appraisal of the extent of damage, disruption and breakdown to the community and its infrastructure resulting from the emergency event.
Geographic Information System & Remote Sensing
This is a system that is designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyse, manage & present spatially referenced data for decision making. It answers the underlisted questions:
- Location - What is at a given location?
- Condition - Where does something occur?
- Trends - What has changed over time?
- Patterns - What spatial patterns exist?
- Modelling - What happens if ?
Remote Sensing
This is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without any physical contact. We have used GIS & Remote Sensing to locate places, perform different forms of analysis and also improve the quality of data presentation.
Environmental Compliance Monitoring
The Environmental Compliance Monitoring Program was developed to ensure environmentally safe and sound operations. This established program is designed to determine industry conformity with environmental laws, regulations, lease stipulations, and project mitigations. Environmental monitoring provides for environmental protection by ensuring implementation of mitigation measures, identifying needed changes to mitigation to improve effectiveness in protecting coastal and marine resources, and understanding the changing environment.
Biodiversity Studies
Biodiversity Studies involves using specialised equipments and experts in the study of variability among living organisms from all sources, including terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are a part of; this includes diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems
Seabed & Environmental Baseline Survey
Our multidisciplinary team of professionals provide quality baseline studies and subsea visualisation services to the offshore Oil and Gas industries. Our area of specialisation include but not limited to subsea survey and remotely operated vehicle instrumentation, sensors and software systems for multibeam sonar systems, 3D visualisation, scour monitoring and data processing and charting. Mak Mera Nigeria Limited has become an household name in professional and quality service delivery at all levels.
Environmental Audit
The key objectives of an environmental audit is to: Determine how well the environmental management information systems and equipment are performing. Verify compliance with the relevant national, local or other laws and regulations. Minimize human exposure to risks from environmental, health and safety problems.
Social Impact Assessment
Social Impact Assessment (SIA) involves the process of identifying and managing the social impacts of industrial projects. It can also be applied to policies, plans and programmes. SIA is used to predict and mitigate negative impacts and identify opportunities to enhance benefits for local communities and broader society.
Health Impact Assessment
Through our specialised Health Team, we conduct assessment of policies, plans and projects in specific areas of interest using quantitative, qualitative and participatory techniques.
