Environmental Research

One part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to evaluate and investigate the environmental baseline and how it will be effected by proposed projects. Mannvit's specialists have a broad knowledge and experience in environmental investigations. Our expertise is in the following fields:

• Waste disposal sites
• Hydrology
• Geochemistry
• Noise impact
• Vegetation mapping
• Geology
• Geothermal exploration
• Landscape analysis
• Visual impact

As leading industry experts in environmental research, Mannvit has developed a method to classify and evaluate the landscape.  This method is built on similar procedures used in the UK.  Another innovative tool we utilize at Mannvit is a visual impact assessment, which is carried out with ArcGIS software, an important assessment tool for the EIA.

The Mannvit team can supply environmental modeling to serve as a backbone in the EIA process and provide further assistance with the EIA for the development project at hand. Environmental modeling includes modeling air dispersion, surface water flow and groundwater flow in order to determine the environmental impacts of geothermal and hydroelectric power plants, aluminum smelters and various other construction projects.
