National / Romanian Reglementations
Our team includes ARMaccredited experts who can deliver the full suite of Romanian environmental studies required for complex energy, transport and industrial projects. This allows us to manage the entire permitting process inhouse, from early screening to final approvals.
- BM11a – Environmental Balance (Transport Infrastructure) Comprehensive environmental balance studies that document baseline conditions and quantify project impacts for road and rail schemes.
- RIM2 – Environmental Impact Report (Extractive Industry) Full EIA documentation for oil, gas and mining activities, aligned with Romanian legislation and best practice guidance.
- RIM11a – Integrated Environmental Report (Transport Infrastructure) Integrated assessment of air, noise, water, soil and biodiversity for large transport corridors and associated facilities.
- RA11a, 11b – Site Report (Transport Infrastructure, Waste Management) Detailed site condition and contamination reports that support permitting, construction and decommissioning decisions.
- RM3 – Environmental Report (Energy Industry) Environmental reports for power generation and grid projects, supporting urban planning and regulatory approvals.
- EA – Appropriate Assessment (Natura 2000) Habitats Directivecompliant assessments that demonstrate how projects avoid or mitigate significant effects on protected sites.
- EGCA – Air Quality Assessment and Management Dispersion modelling and management plans that ensure compliance with national air quality standards.
- EGZA – Ambient Noise Assessment and Management Predictive noise mapping, mitigation design and compliance verification for construction and operation phases.
- EGSC – Climate Change Assessment and Management Evaluation of climate risks, resilience and greenhouse gas performance, in line with emerging Romanian and EU requirements.
- MB – Biodiversity Monitoring Design and implementation of monitoring programmes for birds, bats and other key taxa, linked to clear, measurable indicators.
Financing Experience – EU, IFC/EBRD, IPCC Compliant
For projects seeking international finance, we prepare environmental and social documentation that meets the expectations of commercial banks, IFIs and export credit agencies. Our work is structured from the outset to be bankable and auditready.
- ESIA – Environmental & Social Impact Assessment Integrated assessments covering environmental, social and health impacts, suitable for greenfield and brownfield investments.
- ESMP – Environmental & Social Management Plan Practical, costed action plans that translate ESIA commitments into implementable measures and monitoring obligations.
- ESDD (LIES) – Lender’s Independent Environmental & Social Due Diligence Independent reviews of existing or planned assets, highlighting risks, gaps to standards and targeted mitigation actions.
- BWIS – Biodiversity & Wildlife Impact Studies Specialist studies for birds, bats and other fauna, including collisionrisk modelling and operational mitigation strategies.
- BIA – Biodiversity Impact Assessment Structured assessment of project impacts on habitats and species, aligned with IFC PS6/EBRD PR6 and netgain objectives.
- REA – Rapid Ecological Assessment Fasttrack ecological surveys and risk screening to derisk site selection and early design decisions.
- CCRA – Climate Change Risk Assessment Analysis of physical and transition climate risks over the full project lifetime, consistent with IPCC scenarios.
- SEP – Stakeholder Engagement Plan Clear roadmaps for engaging authorities, communities and NGOs, ensuring transparent, traceable consultation processes.
- BM – Biodiversity Monitoring Studies (any category) Baseline and targeted surveys (flora, fauna, habitats) that feed into EIAs, AA and monitoring programmes.
- MMO – Marine Mammal Observers / Oil & Gas Specialist offshore monitoring and mitigation services to protect marine mammals during seismic surveys and construction.
