Climate and greenhouse gas emissions assessment

Distinguish climate impacts from climate-related risks

We agree whether the work concerns greenhouse gas emissions, project resilience to climate hazards, or both. For an emissions balance, we establish organisational or project boundaries, the reference period and data categories. For resilience, we identify project components whose performance may depend on weather conditions and changes in their surroundings.

Energy, fuel and process data are organised according to the selected approach, with factors, conversions and estimates documented. Resilience analysis brings relevant climate information together with the development's exposure and sensitivity. Confirmed evidence, scenario assumptions and uncertainty are distinguished so findings can be interpreted in the context of design or operational decisions.

We identify significant emission sources or areas requiring adaptation, depending on the commissioned scope. Findings can support comparison of alternatives and plans to improve data quality. A project balance is not automatically a complete organisational footprint, and a climate assessment does not guarantee resilience to every event. These limits are stated explicitly in the report.

Water and wastewater management assessment

Understand water and wastewater as a connected system

We examine water supplies, consumption points and wastewater streams. Process information is combined with available measurements, consumption records, agreements and facility documentation. Streams with different origins and management routes are kept distinct so the balance reflects actual relationships rather than simply adding figures drawn from unrelated documents with different reference periods.

The review checks consistency between demand and discharge, variations in loading and locations where evidence is missing. We identify risks associated with system capacity, wastewater quality and monitoring arrangements. Within the agreed scope, facility conditions are considered alongside the documents and requirements relevant to the water uses and discharge streams under assessment.

Recommendations are organised around the decisions required: obtaining better data, changing practices, investigating technical options or preparing documentation. The assessment is not a detailed installation design or automatic confirmation that a receiving system can accept additional wastewater. It identifies conditions and agreements worth resolving before a process change or an increase in activity.

Technical data

Subject Water supply, consumption and wastewater streams at a facility or development.
Service type Water and wastewater balance with technical and environmental diagnosis.
Assessment basis and requirements Process information, meter readings, test results, agreements and formal documentation relevant to the streams assessed.
Method
  1. Identify water sources, consumption points and wastewater discharge routes.
  2. Reconcile quantity and quality information within a facility balance.
  3. Assess constraints, measurement gaps and links to formal documentation.
  4. Develop recommendations supporting operational decisions or further design work.

Water impact assessment

Connect water conditions with the actual development proposal

We identify water conditions relevant to the location and activities capable of changing water quantity, quality or movement. Available information on surface water, groundwater, surrounding uses and project design is reviewed. The study area and project stages follow potential impact pathways rather than being limited automatically to the development site's boundary.

Potential impact sources are connected to the pathways through which effects may occur and the environmental receptors requiring protection. Abstraction, discharge, dewatering or land-use changes are considered where relevant to the proposal. We check alignment with other project assumptions and identify subjects requiring additional evidence or specialist investigation before defensible conclusions can be drawn.

Findings support selection of protective measures and conditions for further design. A documentation-based assessment does not replace hydrogeological investigation, fieldwork or separate studies needed for a particular solution. We distinguish the questions that can be assessed at the current stage from those requiring a more developed design or better site information.

Technical data

Subject Project effects on surface water and groundwater.
Service type Specialist assessment of impacts on the water environment.
Assessment basis and requirements Project documentation, available water data and assessment criteria relevant to the location and purpose of the study.
Method
  1. Review water conditions and relevant components of the proposed development.
  2. Identify potential impact sources, pathways and environmental receptors.
  3. Assess the significance of effects and proposed protective measures.
  4. Prepare documentation findings and recommendations for additional evidence.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive a specialist report for project documentation describing baseline conditions, anticipated effects and proposed protective measures. The report identifies data sources, assumptions and investigation limitations. Conclusions are linked to project components, supporting coordination across disciplines and clarifying the information or design changes needed before the next stage of development work.

Air quality impact assessment

A coherent air quality assessment for project decisions

We first establish the project stage and type of document that require assessment. Processes, fuels, emission sources and relevant surroundings are reviewed. The scope reflects the development, distinguishing construction and operational effects where both stages are material to the question being considered and the agreed specialist contribution to the wider documentation.

We organise the evidence needed for conclusions: emission data, available measurements, modelling results and information on proposed controls. Assumptions are checked for consistency and alignment with the overall project description. If evidence is insufficient, we identify the necessary additions rather than presenting an unsupported judgement as a conclusive assessment of air quality effects.

Findings are translated into project considerations, emission control measures or questions requiring further investigation. The specialist report does not replace separate assessments or measurements identified as necessary during the review. Its purpose is to explain the assessment basis and support informed decisions without predetermining the outcome of an administrative procedure.

Technical data

Subject A development's effect on air quality in the relevant surrounding area.
Service type Specialist assessment for environmental, permitting or investment documentation.
Assessment basis and requirements Document requirements, project characteristics and assessment criteria confirmed for the individual assignment.
Method
  1. Define the document purpose, assessment boundary and relevant project stages.
  2. Review emissions, surrounding conditions and available investigation results.
  3. Connect the evidence to impact conclusions and proposed control measures.
  4. Prepare consistent specialist findings and identify necessary additional information.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive a specialist report for inclusion in the agreed documentation. It presents emission characteristics, the assessment basis and findings, important assumptions and project recommendations. It also identifies the analyses used and remaining information gaps, helping the lead document author coordinate inputs and plan any further work with a clear understanding of its purpose.

Multi-parameter environmental monitoring

One programme for connected environmental observations

Component selection starts with the development, its stage and the questions that need monitoring. The programme may combine agreed noise, air, water or other relevant investigations without automatically including every possible parameter. Locations, frequencies and responsibilities are selected to reflect actual impacts and the conditions documented for the project or operating facility.

We coordinate specialists and providers, organising location identifiers, reference periods and data exchange. Component results are related to information on construction progress and operating conditions. Combined reports highlight significant events and response needs while preserving the separate methods, units and assessment criteria appropriate to each component and clearly distinguishing missing information from measured findings.

The programme establishes who reviews results, who receives notifications of deviations and when monitoring arrangements need revision. Specialist work is delivered by suitable providers under the agreed division of responsibilities. Combining datasets helps coordination but does not establish a shared cause for coincident changes; conclusions remain tied to the evidence available for the particular event.

Technical data

Subject An agreed combination of environmental components associated with a development or facility.
Service type Integrated monitoring programme, coordination and reporting.
Assessment basis and requirements Programme objectives, documented project conditions, activity schedules and component-specific methods and assessment criteria.
Method
  1. Select monitoring components, locations and investigation frequencies.
  2. Agree provider responsibilities and a shared information flow.
  3. Coordinate investigations and relate results to facility activities.
  4. Report findings and review the programme in light of observations.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive a programme, an agreed data package and reports covering several environmental components. They connect findings with locations, periods and site events, identifying significant observations and follow-up actions. The material helps coordinate specialist teams and maintain consistent records without losing the detail needed to interpret each type of investigation.

Acoustic analysis using client data

Make an informed decision using the data already available

We first agree the question to be answered and review the client's available material. This may include reports, source parameters, site layouts or descriptions of operating conditions. We check the meaning of acoustic quantities and the consistency of reference conditions, avoiding comparisons between information that appears similar but describes different acoustic situations or operating arrangements.

Data are interpreted and agreed analyses carried out in line with their quality and the assessment purpose. Information supported by documentation is distinguished from assumptions needed for further reasoning. We identify differences that may arise from measurement methods or source configuration and those warranting closer attention. Calculations and comparisons remain tied to the evidence actually available.

Without a full measurement campaign, not every site condition is independently verified. If the information cannot resolve the question, we describe the assessment limits and a proportionate scope for obtaining missing evidence. This helps you decide whether the existing material is sufficient for design work or technical discussion, or whether a separate investigation is needed.

Technical data

Subject Noise emissions or impacts described by client-supplied information.
Service type Expert review of documentation and agreed acoustic input data.
Assessment basis and requirements Assessment purpose, data provenance, original measurement conditions and analytical methods suited to the information quality.
Method
  1. Agree the question and review the supplied documentation.
  2. Check quantities, units and relevant reference conditions.
  3. Interpret information and perform agreed comparisons or calculations.
  4. Set out conclusions, limitations and additional information needs.
Delivery model KFB Enviro

What you receive

You receive a report or technical note addressing the agreed question, describing the information used and the assumptions made. Conclusions explain appropriate uses of the data and identify gaps requiring attention. The document supports technical decisions on the available evidence without implying that unperformed measurements or site verification have taken place.

Water permit technical report

A technical account of how the proposed water use will work

We start by defining the subject and boundaries of the report, known in Poland as an operat wodnoprawny. We review the proposed water use, technical arrangements, location and receiving environment. Design information, balances and mapping are checked for consistency with the same project option. Missing parameters are identified before dependent sections are prepared.

The report describes the relevant equipment or activities, quantities characterising water use and graphical material suited to the agreed scope. We work with the designer and specialist contributors to clarify connections between the process, infrastructure and environmental setting. Information is organised so its origin and the basis of calculations and proposed operating parameters can be followed.

The report documents a defined proposal. Preparing it is not the same service as managing the entire water permit procedure or producing a construction design. If the process, location or balance changes during preparation, we identify the sections requiring revision so the documentation continues to describe the intended arrangements rather than an earlier design.

Technical data

Subject Water use, water services or structures covered by the agreed technical report.
Service type Technical documentation supporting a water-related permitting matter.
Assessment basis and requirements Purpose of the report, applicable documentation requirements, design information, balances and identified site and receiving-environment conditions.
Method
  1. Define the report subject and collect supporting information.
  2. Check consistency of technical parameters, balances and location data.
  3. Prepare the narrative, calculations and graphical material.
  4. Assemble the report and attachments within the agreed scope.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive a water permit technical report with technical descriptions, relevant balances and supporting attachments. It connects the proposal's parameters with its location and intended water use. Sources and assumptions are documented, supporting preparation of the relevant application package and coordination of information between the investor and design team.

Water law notification support

A precise description of the notified water-related works

We start with the proposed activities and their relationship with water and the surroundings. The assumed notification route is reviewed against actual parameters rather than the name of the works alone. We establish what location, technical and design information is available and what needs clarification before the documentation is prepared for subsequent formal steps.

We develop the description and organise the relevant information and agreed appendices. The scope stated in the text is checked against drawings and data supplied by the designer. Clear proposal boundaries are particularly important, preventing different activities from being combined without explaining their relationship and significance for the procedural route selected for the proposed works.

A notification is distinct from a water permit application and from the technical report supporting such an application. If clarified information points to a different procedure, we explain the distinction and identify the documentation changes needed. The outcome keeps the proposal presented by the client aligned with the material prepared for the identified notification route.

Technical data

Subject A proposal covered by the simplified water law notification procedure
Service type Water law notification documentation
Assessment basis and requirements The actual activities, location and technical parameters, and information relevant to the applicable notification route.
Method
  1. Review the proposed activities and the assumed notification procedure.
  2. Collect location, technical and design information.
  3. Prepare the description and organise the agreed appendices.
  4. Check that written and graphical materials describe the same scope.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive water law notification documentation for the agreed proposal. The package connects the activity description with technical data, location information and appropriate appendices. It relates the documented scope to the client's intended solution while clearly distinguishing a notification from a permit application and from technical documentation prepared for other water-related procedures.

Water permit application support

Water permit documentation tied to the actual proposal

We define the application subject: proposed or existing water use, its scale and its connections with infrastructure and the surroundings. Existing decisions, design documents and operational information are reviewed. Confirmed data is separated from parameters still needing agreement so that the proposal describes the solution the client actually intends to build, use or continue operating.

We coordinate the material needed for the identified procedure, including the appropriate technical report and appendices. Location information, quantities and descriptions are checked for consistency between documents. During the proceedings, we help prepare technical explanations and agreed supplementary material, connecting questions with specific proposal parameters and the evidence on which the application is based.

The service covers the application and procedural support; preparation of the technical report itself is a distinct documentation task that can be included by agreement. We clarify which materials already exist and which need to be developed. This separates design work, document preparation and procedural explanations instead of presenting them as an undefined package.

Technical data

Subject Defined water use or water services
Service type Water permit application and support during the procedure
Assessment basis and requirements Proposal description, technical and location documents, and requirements appropriate to the defined application scope.
Method
  1. Define the application subject and water-use parameters.
  2. Review existing documents and identify information to be added.
  3. Coordinate technical material and prepare a consistent application.
  4. Support technical explanations concerning the documentation during proceedings.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive a water permit application with the agreed supporting documents and assistance in explaining technical matters during the procedure. The package describes the proposal and connects its parameters with the documentation. It enables the developer or operator to trace the evidence behind the application and identify elements needing designer input or an additional study.

Coordinated environmental permit applications

Separate procedures built on shared installation data

We first review the installation's activities, existing documents and the purpose of the package. We identify areas needing an individual application or notification and data shared by several documents. For a modernisation, it is important to distinguish unchanged parameters from those affecting existing documentation and the scope of the next procedural steps for the installation.

We organise preparation activities and specialist contributions. Common assumptions about capacity, operating hours and processes are carried into the relevant documents. Descriptions and schedules are checked so that submissions for different environmental topics do not present conflicting versions of the installation. Information and appendices specific to each separate procedure are identified alongside the shared material.

The package includes only the agreed applications and notifications identified for the scope reviewed. It does not merge separate procedures into one decision or replace an integrated permit. Clear separation of documents and their dependencies helps the client's team coordinate its own work and update information when parameters change before commissioning or during operation.

Technical data

Subject Installation permits and notifications outside one integrated permitting procedure
Service type Coordinated package of separate environmental applications
Assessment basis and requirements The installation's activities, existing decisions and documentation requirements identified separately for each environmental topic.
Method
  1. Identify applications and notifications relevant to the defined activity.
  2. Agree shared data and requirements specific to each procedure.
  3. Coordinate specialists and prepare the agreed package components.
  4. Check parameter consistency and dependencies between the documents.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive the agreed package of applications and notifications, organised by topic and procedure. Documents use shared installation data while identifying material specific to each matter. This helps the operator or developer coordinate information preparation and subsequent steps, with a clear understanding of what each document covers and which decisions or inputs it depends on.
