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.
2012 Bioretention Basin in Tuaspring Desalination Plant
The 500m2 bioretention basin of the Tuaspring Desalination Plant in Singapore is designed to receive surface water from a catchment size of 16,100m2.
A portion of the cleansed water from the bioretention basin is channelled to a sub-surface storage tank to be recycled and used for landscape irrigation while the remaining filtered water is channelled back to the main drainage system.
Enviro Pro is involved in the design and build of the bio-retention basin. This was the first industrial project in Singapore with PUB-ABC Certification in Singapore.
Key Design Concepts
Bioretention basin – The basin removes impurities in the influent water by fine filtration, adsorption and biological uptake by plants and microbes attached to plants roots within the cleansing layer. The basin also temporarily store stormwater runoff before conveyance to main public drainage system.
