Let nature propel your project forward with smart management and restoration plans

Climate adaptation and nature restoration hand in hand

Our teams focus on climate-adaptive solutions for resilient living environments. Our project portfolio includes nature management plans, nature development and ecohydrology, where we restore the natural water cycle and integrate more greenery into urban areas.

This not only provides ecological value but also addresses current challenges such as flooding, drought and heat stress.

Making nature management tangible

Our service goes beyond drafting nature management plans; we also develop green and verge management plans. On ecological site visits, we put our expertise into practice, offering a wide range of specialised services to ensure your project harmonises with the natural environment.

• Surveys and counts of fauna and flora: comprehensive surveys and counts of existing animal and plant species to gain a complete picture of biodiversity.
• Ecological mapping for compliance with nature legislation: including biological valuation maps, habitat maps and protected species maps.
• Monitoring: continuous oversight of ecological indicators to ensure the health and dynamics of nature.
• Translocations: safely relocating flora and fauna to suitable habitats to mitigate potential disturbances from projects.
• Ecological site supervision: guidance and oversight during implementation to protect ecological values.

For the wind turbine project at the ArcelorMittal site in Ghent, we were involved not only in the permitting process but also appointed for drafting an EIA exemption and nature assessment. Our team conducted bat and bird counts, calculated shadow flicker and noise, and handled the topographical surveys.

Ecology connected with engineering

Our ecological experts work not in isolation but within integrated project teams. When environmental issues arise in nature management planning or restoration, they immediately engage colleagues in hydraulic engineering, soil remediation, participation and stakeholder management. This ensures we create solutions that are not only ecologically sound but also practically feasible and well-embedded in the broader objectives of your project.
