The purpose of environmental studies is to identify and evaluate environmental effects of the project, presenting proposals and solutions to reduce negative effects, and to prepare a management plant in order to monitor changes in the environment.

This expertise group carries out water, industrial, electric, oil, gas, water and waste water projects and consists of four divisions as follows:

• Environmental management planning and evaluation.
• Air, soil and water quality management.
• Hazard solid waste management.
• Environment, safety and health management.

Preparation of environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports for various projects such as dams, gas & combined cycle power plants, power lines and evaluation of ecological potential using GIS are the services of this group.
