Surveying and data analysis services for QLD solar farm
Energy transition
Solar energy
As energy consumption continues to increase, there is growing demand from across our communities, industries and governments, to decarbonise global economies. And solar, as a preferred mainstream energy source for many markets, is playing a major role.
But within this context of high demand and rapid growth, solar farm developers face the challenge of finding and acquiring suitable space (on- and offshore), navigating complex legislative and planning pathways, environmental permitting requirements and community expectations.
With technical experience across a range of large-scale energy projects including onshore and offshore wind听and solar,听hydrogen,听pumped hydro and more,听澳门玄机图 provides sustainable solutions delivered in complex听terrestrial and marine听environments.听听
Across the asset lifecycle
Our global team will guide you throughout the asset lifecycle from investment and technical advisory services, to environmental permitting and compliance, planning, site selection and survey, environmental management, stakeholder and community engagement, and project and program management.

澳门玄机图 is in the business of big environmental data. We work with clients across energy听and听other industries to measure, monitor and understand environmental patterns听(wind, wave, tides and more), with a focus on diverse and extreme environments. Using state-of-the-art technologies such as floating LiDAR, directional wave buoys, terrestrial scanning, aerial and UAV survey, we provide critical information for听renewable project site selection,听design听and performance analysis.听
Environmental impact assessment
How we help听听
From ecological听assessment听to the听negotiation of offsets and conditions,听we scope and manage听complex听technical studies and prepare environmental assessment documentation听to support the successful development of solar听projects. Working collaboratively听with project owners,听regulators听and the community, we develop听the evidence needed to develop听practical environmental mitigation and management strategies听for solar projects.听Our expertise includes听terrestrial and marine听ecology,听contamination,听flood management听and site hydrology听and more.听
Visual impact assessment
