Enviro Pro developed and applied environmental evaluation criteria for proposed irrigation schemes, prepared Initial Environmental Examination Reports according to Asian Development Bank's (ADB) environmental safeguard policies for sub-projects. This project also involved providing the framework process for environmental and spatial assessment along the west coast of Aceh Province. Finally, Enviro Pro also assisted with the GIS development for project's environmental screening database, showing environmentally sensitive areas.

Enviro Pro prepared an initial environmental examination (IEE) or environmental impact assessment (EIA) and a summary IEE or summary EIA for the whole project, in accordance with applicable national standards and in line with ADB requirements. Also, Enviro Pro synchronized environmental assessment requirements between GoI and ADB.
2018 - Present Environmental Impact Assessment for the Proposed Coastal
Protection Measures on Sentosa Island
Sentosa is a 500 ha resort island located half a kilometre off the southern coast of mainland Singapore. Despite the developments over the years, the island still retains a portion of ecologically significant natural areas. 70% of the island was historically covered by secondary rainforest, providing the habitat to species such as monitor lizards, monkeys, peacocks and other flora and fauna.
Enviro Pro will examine how the projected rise in sea level will affect the coast around Sentosa Island, and what measures are needed to be implemented to safeguard the island. The EIA will assess the predicted environmental impacts on Sentosa due to climate change and associated sea level rises, and it will assess how the environmental impacts identified can be reduced and mitigated against.
Key Study Methods
- Literature Review & Site Inspections – Government authorities may be consulted to ascertain if data capture under previous studies can be shared with the study team.
- Risk Identification & Recommendation of Coastal Protection Measures – To see the detailed modelling works carried out and to identify potential flooding for various climate scenarios. A cost-benefit analysis will be carried out .
- Conceptual Design – This stage focuses on developing the
potential solution to a concept level of design including build schedule and cost planning.
