EAME Panoramio Photostream

EAME has created a specific Panoramio Photostream for some of the its more interesting projects. The photostream is Google Earth linked so you can check out where we have been. We will be adding more images over the coming months and years.

Environment Analyst – EAME Consultancy Model

EAME has been featured in another article within the Environment Analyst (January 2011). The article discusses our unique consultancy model where EAME (along with four other consultancies – all formerly employed by high-profile multidisciplinaries) have founded a series of small, specialist consultancies that operate independently while maintaining a ‘loose alliance’ that allows them to build multi-disciplinary teams as and when needed. The main benefit of a consortium of smaller companies is that we are able to offer highly experienced consultants at significantly lower rates than the larger firms, making us competitive in the current economic climate. As a result these flexible highly experienced teams can quickly and easily respond to client needs.

Environmental Survey For Port Sector Development, Iraq

EAME has just been awarded a major environmental baseline study in relation to a proposed Port re-development in Iraq. EAME has been appointed by the Japanese International Co-operation Agency (JICA) which is funding the project.

The project will involve conducting a detailed water quality survey (including field sampling and laboratory analysis) and an extensive sediment quality survey (including field sampling and laboratory analysis). In addition EAME will undertake a technical study and appraisal of candidate dumping sites for dredged materials (including field sampling and laboratory analysis). The candidate dumping sites will also be assessed to ascertain the current flora and fauna baseline conditions.

EAME is uniquely placed to offer services in this area after successful completion of the Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) for the Sealine Project.

Environment Analyst – Sealine Project Article

EAME’s recently completed $1.9 million Sealine Project in Iraq has been featured within the Environment Analyst. The article highlights the importance of having appropriate levels of security in order to work successfully within the region.

EBS Project – SOC Iraq

EAME have recently completed the first key stage in a major Environmental Baseline Study for the Sealine Project in Iraq. The Sealine Project is the construction of a 48” pipeline corridor from the Fao Peninsula Bulk Oil Storage tank farm to the BOT and KAAT off-shore oil terminals. The Earth and Marine environmental scientists are engaged directly by the Japanese International Co-operation Agency (JICA) which is funding the project.

A key aspect of any major international funding arrangement is that the funders must ensure that the environmental and social impacts of the proposed project that is being funded are properly evaluated and that there is adequate monitoring of such impacts as the project develops. The fundamental first stage of this is the Environmental Baseline Study (EBS) which establishes the conditions that prevail prior to the main construction works. To that end EAME was commissioned to undertake a series of scientific and social studies in the project area over a 12 month period. These included:

  • Seawater and sediment (sea-bed) sample collection and chemical analysis;
  • Ecological surveys of fish, plankton, sea vegetation, sediment dwellers, land vegetation, insects, birds and mammals (including dolphins and whales);
  • Sampling and analysis of soils and Groundwaters on the Fao Peninsula;
  • Monitoring Noise and Air Quality;
  • Oceanographic monitoring at BOT and KAAT;
  • Meteorological Monitoring on Fao and on BOT;
  • Marine Traffic and Land Traffic Surveys;
  • Fisheries Activity Surveys; and
  • Assessment of the Socio-economic conditions on Fao.

The surveys were carried out on four separate occasions over a 12 month period and eventually built up into a comprehensive dossier of the environmental and socio-economic conditions on the Fao Peninsula and off-shore area.
