Project studies - Design
In-depth analysis and tailor-made plans for ecological restoration
The company’s many years of experience in carrying out environmental work have allowed it to become specialized in the design and the implementation of erosion management projects. Two aspects are particularly addressed in the studies we conduct: the rehabilitation of gullies, quarries or waste spills and the revegetation of degraded areas, not only on mines but also in other ecosystems such as sclerophyll forests, mangroves and more.
Detailed process for rehabilitation and revegetation
To best meet our clients’ needs, each project is carefully examined on a case-by-case basis.
Thus, gully or waste spill rehabilitation projects are carried out as follows:
- Submission of the issue by the client
- Preliminary site visit with the client
- Analysis of the visit and reflection on potential solutions
- Confirmation visit and measurements
- Cost estimation of selected solutions (ranging from low-cost solutions to heavier works and based on ecological engineering); technical note drafting and associated mapping
- Discussion of the proposal with the client
- Proposal modification, if necessary, and validation
- Execution of the works, supervised by the project manager involved in the project from the start
Social and environmental commitment in New Caledonia
Our involvement in many environmental restoration operations, over more than 30 years throughout New Caledonia, has helped foster connections with local populations. Aware of the necessity to safeguard the interests of these communities, integration of people living in villages or tribes near our work sites is automatically considered, as early as the project design step. With a similar mind-set, part of our endemic/native seed collection is outsourced to associations based in local tribes.
This approach combines social equity (through training and compensation for people who often have limited access to employment) with economic efficiency, as the company’s expenses (travel, accommodation, etc.) are indeed optimized.
