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.
2016 Bukit Kalang Biodiversity Survey
The proposed project at Bukit Kalang Service Reservoir (BKSR) aims to construct a set of new potable water pipelines and the retro-fitting of existing pipelines. National Parks Board (NParks) and Public Utilities Board (PUB) called for an Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP) to mitigate against impacts caused by the construction work and the use of machinery.
Enviro Pro was tasked with the pre-construction baseline survey of fauna, and the development of Biodiversity Management Plan. Surveys on mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, odonates, and butterflies were carried out using transects and fixed position camera trapping.
A total of 154 species were recorded in the area, including the nationally critically endangered Lesser Mousedeer (Tragulus kanchil) and Sunda Pangolin (Manis javanica). Due to the survey methods undertaken, the data was analysed spatially to identify areas of high sensitivity within the project area.
