Whether you plan to build a new bridge, extend the lifetime of a subsiding offshore platform, develop a new beach, or place additional fish farms in a fiord, your project will have an impact on the surrounding coastal and marine waters, and they will have an impact on your project. We can determine and quantify these impacts and thus provide you with the basis for making environmentally and economically sound decisions in your project.

The environmental impact from projects in the coastal zone and further offshore attracts a great deal of attention. The protection of, for example, mangroves, coral reefs, sea mammals, sea grass beds or recreational beaches, is thus an integral part of the planning of any marine structure.

If you are only in the preliminary stages of your project, an overall description of the possible impact may be adequate. This description may be based on data already available for your area. On the other hand, if you are further into the project, collection of field measurements to describe in detail the state of your area is often required.

Because of an often harsh marine environment the costs associated with construction in the coastal zone and further offshore are generally high. It is therefore imperative for the costs of any marine project that the environment's impact on and interaction with the proposed structures are known to such detail, that cost-effective planning, design and/or construction can be carried out.
