Environmental and Ecological Engineering

Developing our regions involves numerous challenges – societal and environmental, as well as economic. Our aim is to design projects that have the lowest possible impact on the environment, which do not require exorbitant natural resources and energy, and which are accepted by residents. The environment is a real lever for creating appeal.

Environmental engineering in regions.

We are involved in all transport infrastructure projects: land (rail, road, urban), air (airport), river (canals), maritime (ports) and energy (electricity, gas), as well as urban and coastal development and development work related to renewable energies (photovoltaic, onshore and offshore wind power).

As a stakeholder involved in these developments, we identify possible levers for improving the environmental performance of projects, we coordinate the eco-approach and we get our pool of experts involved so as to put forward pragmatic measures that address the operational challenges of your projects.

As such, we support our clients in managing regulatory procedures (environmental assessments, public utility declarations, environmental authorisations for works installations and installations classified for environmental protection, exemption requests for protected species, harmonising urban development documents, etc.) and provide assistance with administrative consultation initiatives.

Biodiversity and Environmental engineering.

Our teams firmly believe that factoring biodiversity into the life cycle of your projects is key to their success, so they provide expertise and strategic advice on how to incorporate eco-design into them and ensure that the works and operations phases run smoothly.

Thanks to our team of ecologists who combine expertise in nature and engineering, we can undertake field investigations for you and provide you with appropriate advice on minimising impact, sizing solutions and meeting the regulatory requirement of ensuring no loss to biodiversity.

As a major player in environmental engineering, Egis is also involved in managing compensatory measures – on renaturation projects and environmental monitoring of worksites.

And the assessors in our team can support construction companies, helping them to get their projects certified (BiodiverCity®, BREEAM, HQE, etc.).

Climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Egis plays a very real role in tackling climate change and is firmly committed to doing so. We develop solutions that are rooted in real life for our public and private clients which help them reduce their current emissions, increase the sequestration potential and bolster the resilience of the regions in which they operate.

In addition to these projects, our consultancy experts help you define and implement strategies for achieving net zero (greenhouse gas emission assessment, Net Zero Initiative, SBTi, ACA, etc.).

Eva-Climat, for bolstering the resilience of your infrastructure.

A straightforward decision-support tool for prioritising the vulnerabilities of your infrastructure and adjusting its design and future operating costs.

Soil.is by Egis helps you on your path towards net zero by designing, managing and monitoring nature-based solutions that focus on the natural sequestration of carbon in the ground on which your infrastructure is built.

Architecture & Landscape.

Changes in our lifestyle are impacting our practices, forcing us to think about ways to increase the versatility, resilience and cross-functionality of our facilities. We need to innovate and eco-design!

As far as the architecture of engineering structures is concerned, we are involved in the design, communication, administrative authorisation and project management phases (studies and works) for crossing structures (including bridges, viaducts, gangways and tunnels), as well as the protection phases (acoustics, support structures).

As far as the landscape is concerned, our expertise covers the design, communication, administrative authorisation and project management phases (studies and works) for regional development projects.

Geomatics.

Our geomatics experts can support you with suitable solutions for managing challenges associated with the complexity of spatial data, its structure, its interoperability and its use. Like BIM and 4.0 technologies, geomatics makes managing regions easier.

We make use of geographical data (GIS data model, geographic data bases, field collection tools, dynamic dashboards alongside online maps) and provide our expertise for implementing Geographic Information Systems, from conducting audits and GIS project management consultancy to implementing collaborative WebSIGs.
