Our combination of experience provides a unique opportunity to integrate practical needs early into the impact assessment phase, ensuring applicability in the construction and operational phases of development. Our services include management of specialists and professional team coordination. Ecosense personnel have environmental and industry production training and experience in aquaculture. All facets of aquaculture consultancy has been undertaken including risk and environmental assessment, project feasibility assessment, compliance auditing, construction and operational management programmes, national and international standards and best practice applications. Ecosense has members who are SACNASP registered and Green Star SA Accredited Professionals and can provide ecologist’s reports as are required for Eco-0 Conditional Requirement, the Landscape & Ecology 4 Change in Ecological Value credit as well as producing Environmental Management Plans that meet the requirements of the Green Star SA rating system for the Man-6 credit. With expertise in Social Sciences, Ecosense can also offer social screenings and have a good grasp of public participation methods and requirements. Ecosense has previously been involved in social studies for the R300 Ring Road project, Kompanjiestuin vineyard development and Croydon Wine and Olive Estates in Cape Town. Ecosense and its associates have been instrumental in conducting various workshops to reach tangible outcomes. We follow a diverse approach to the facilitation of workshops to avoid the delegates becoming bored or feeling side-lined. We have been involved in stakeholder facilitation workshops in the public participation phases of impact assessment processes of which examples include Greenpoint Stadium. Examples include a company environmental risk assessment workshop for Grinaker LTA and an Estuary Management Forum workshop to address the challenges in estuary management for the Western Cape Government. Ecosense, together with our highly qualified and experienced Health & Safety associates, undertake integrated SHEQ risk assessments, plans and compliance auditing. Environmental Risk Assessments are a vital tool in devising appropriate mitigation measures for anticipated environmental impacts. Apart from the risk assessment process that is inherently undertaken to inform our environmental management plans, we have undertaken specific risk assessments at company level, for example risk assessment of the Grinaker LTA construction division to inform development of ISO 14 001 work procedures as well as project level e.g. for the Hondeklip abelone ranching and Roman Bay bloodworm farming projects. Ecosense has vast experience in environmental management planning for a diverse range of activities over all lifecycle stages, including the compilation of design, construction, operational, decommissioning and rehabilitation phase environmental management plans. From simple to implement construction site environmental management plans for house construction next to the Table Mountain National Park to complex environmental compliance management systems such as developed for the Cape Town Stadium, from fish farms to wind farms to ready-mix concrete plants, Cape Town to Rwanda, we have pretty much seen and done it all when it comes to the drafting of practical and effective environmental management plans and programmes. Ecosense has experienced and knowledgeable personnel to provide environmental site management and compliance monitoring services. We also assist contractors and operators with internal environmental auditing and support to assist them in achieving their environmental management goals. Example ECO services we have undertaken include various City of Cape Town housing and infrastructure projects, Overstrand flood repair works, the Grand West Casino and the Cape Town Stadium. Environmental Auditing examples include operational phase audits of the Katse Fish Farm in Lesotho, various housing estates such as the Atlantic Beach Golf Estate in Melkbostrand and the SANBI Working for Wetlands National Performance Audits. We have provided contractor support on various wind farms on the Eastern Cape and road projects in the Western Cape. Ecosense regularly provides environmental awareness and induction training for staff on construction sites but also tailors specific environmental management training packages to fulfil the needs of various individuals and organisations. This has included train-the-trainer packages for the Coega IDZ in the Eastern Cape, estate manager training at
