MARINE LICENSING, SAMPLING AND PRE-DREDGE SUPPORT

EnviroCentre can provide in support to your dredge licence applications in advance of a dredging campaign and other in-shore marine sampling requirements providing a fully integrated service. The majority of this work is undertaken in house by our dedicated team supported by external our project partners as needed.
We have a proven track record of delivering robust  supporting information to ensure that licences are obtained with the minimal iterations in a range of challenging environments. We use local resources where possible to benefit from local insight and maximise efficiencies when in the field.
We have extensive experience working in some of the major ports, harbours, ferry terminals and estuaries around the UK from the Outer Hebrides to the southwest of England.
