Environment, Energy & Sustainability

From impact assessment to remediation, from discharge to emissions: we manage the relationship between plant, territory and authorities with measured data and correct procedures.

What we do

We work on the environmental assessment and permitting of plants and activities, the remediation of contaminated sites and the management of industrial waste, focused on preventing and controlling risks to the environment and public health.

In partnership with environmental laboratories we carry out sampling and analysis of water, soil, waste, emissions and workplaces, with sampling plans, data quality control and validation of results.

The problems we address

  • 01

    “I need to permit a new plant or modify an existing one and do not know which environmental procedure applies.”

  • 02

    “I have a discharge or emission to characterise and a permit with conditions to meet.”

  • 03

    “An area of my site is potentially contaminated and I need to know what to do, how long it takes and what it costs.”

  • 04

    “I want to cut my plant's energy consumption starting from real data.”

How IAT works

  • Environmental procedures built on the actual project, not on standard templates.
  • Planned sampling and validated data: what goes to the authority is defensible.
  • Remediation based on risk analysis and low-impact technologies.

Regulatory framework

  • Legislative Decree 152/2006 as amended — Environmental Code (EIA, IPPC, discharges, emissions, remediation, waste)
  • Law 447/1995 — noise pollution
  • Legislative Decree 42/2004 — Cultural Heritage and Landscape Code
  • Legislative Decree 192/2005 and Ministerial Decree 26/06/2015 — energy performance of buildings
