Description
Enroute’s environmental planning and environmental impact assessment capabilities are completely focused on airports – how to better integrate them into their surrounding environment and how to make them more sustainable. Our experience ranges from the early planning stages for either a Greenfield or an existing Airport expansion project – the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process as dictated by the European SEA Directive (2001/42/EC) – to the impact assessment for specific airport infrastructure projects, including the definition and cost and feasibility assessment of impact mitigation measures and other green airport initiatives.

Our capabilities also include the use of the standard FAA INM and EDMS models for the assessment of noise impact and emissions to air in the vicinity of airports.

Some recent experience in this domain includes the following references:
