Social and Environmental Feasibility
Infrastructure projects often have significant social and environmental impacts arising from their construction and operation, which can be both positive and negative. The consequences may include flow-on effects beyond the project location and the people directly associated with the project.
The social impacts of projects on communities affected by the project include implications for quality of life and livelihoods. Similarly, projects may have environmental impacts on the project’s environment (e.g., rivers, groundwater, or air), including effects on environmental resources due to the utilization of pollutant materials.
AACS Consulting offers social and environmental feasibility study which covers the following aspects:
Environmental aspects:
- Overall protection of public and ecological health;
- Effective reduction of hazardous waste toxicity, mobility, and volume;
- Technical reliability; and
- Statutory compliance.
Social aspects:
- Social issues of the targeted community; and
- Providing a participation strategy to involve a broader range of stakeholders.
Through environmental and social feasibility, AACS Consulting addresses a fundamental question: Are there any project-related issues that make social and ecological approvals impossible?
