ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA)
Aquatonics Ltd have worked on a number of high profile EIAs including Dibden Bay, Gunfleet Sands Offshore Windfarm, the Tees Barrage, the high speed rail link from London to the Channel Tunnel, and the Stonehenge Visitor Centre. We specialise in assessing the environmental impact of developments on aquatic ecology and chemistry.
