Find the best Environmental Surveillance company in just three steps

How can I find a good one Environmental Surveillance company? Surely you have asked yourself that question and especially if you have obtained an Environmental Impact Statement. We'll tell you what you have to consider when hiring. You'll save time and money.

Your Environmental Impact Statement is likely to read:”To carry out the environmental monitoring and surveillance program, the sponsor must appoint a person responsible and notify their appointment to the substantive and environmental bodies.”. That is when the search for an environmental monitoring and surveillance company is launched. We'll tell you what you have to keep in mind for that search to be a success.

First step. Search for the environmental monitoring company of your dreams.

• The first thing you do is search San Google. Well done, but keep in mind that not all of them are there, but they are not all that are, because you can find some “environmental consultant” whose only environmental thing is the name and the paper recycling bin, and is using that adjective as a complaint. Research the profile of their technicians, their experience, their clients,... a bad environmental consultant (or of any kind) can make you not earn the money you deserve, and most importantly it can make you lose your good reputation and your time, listen to us, we know what we are talking about.

• In parallel with the above, you will surely ask friends and colleagues in the profession to recommend an environmental monitoring company or a environmental consultant. So far so good, you're still doing very well. But friend, you can start making the mistake when you don't ignore phrases like”Call these, they don't show up at your house and they don't charge you for the trip” or”these!!! , who do the report to you from the office”. Don't make the mistake of calling these types of “professionals” whose ethics (or media) have a very dubious reputation.

After taking one of these two routes, or both, you are in a position to request a quote from the environmental monitoring company (or) you have chosen. And here you are faced with another choice.

Second step. Choosing the best environmental monitoring company

After contacting environmental monitoring companies, you ask them for a budget, for which you must take the following steps:

• It provides all the information, and the same, to all environmental consultants. This will allow you to compare prices more objectively. What information should you provide to ensure good environmental monitoring? The Declaration Resolution of Environmental Impact, the plans of your project or activity, the technical project and everything you think can help to prepare an environmental monitoring offer that is as tight as possible.

• Ask for the offer and wait to receive it. One detail; if you have to wait a long time to receive the offer... No comments.

• When you receive the offer, don't get carried away just by the price, do two basic exercises:
  • Intercalibration check, that is, check that what they all offer you is the same. Check the frequency of environmental monitoring visits, number of reports prepared, extra assistance, improvements, etc.
  • Verification Actio Realis or real action: that is, what they have offered you is feasible in a timely manner. Example: an environmental consultant cannot offer weekly environmental monitoring of a 30 km power line with a technician. This implies that this technician must cover 60 km in a day, well there are longer ultra marathons, but a weekly ultra marathon... so you must verify that what they are going to do is operational and feasible, otherwise you will be positively evaluating an environmental consultant who will not meet the minimum requirements.

Third step. Hire the selected environmental monitoring company.

Now is when the work of the environmental monitoring company begins and to do its best, we recommend:

• Make known your doubts, concerns and why not, your fears. We have been able to verify over the years that those who hire Environmental Surveillance come to see us as public enemy No. 1. Our objectives are:
  • Perform environmental monitoring with the greatest guarantees.
  • Comply with regulations and the Environmental Impact Statement.
  • To be the hinge between him and the relevant Environmental Administration.

From now on you should forget about the environmental issue (if the environmental consultant is the right one) If they don't, you can always call us and check that we are trying to be so.
