Advise on questionnaire design and deliver engagement such as focus groups and workshops. Produce reports and cross-tabulated outputs, ensuring traceability and data management to Transport for London standards.

Provide environmental data analysis, modelling and monitoring for air quality and greenhouse-gas management. Develop and apply emissions inventories and dispersion modelling, including baseline and future-year assessments.

Support ambient monitoring for validation and fleet composition forecasting. Integrate environmental and socio-economic datasets to assess exposure inequalities and health impacts for policy assessment.

Provide ecological, arboricultural and landscape surveys and monitoring for Transport for London and the Greater London Authority activities. Deliver Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEAs), habitat and species surveys, protected and invasive species advice, arboricultural assessments, and monitoring supporting Biodiversity Net Gain.

Provide mitigation recommendations and reporting, and return geospatial outputs in Geographic Information System (GIS) format to Transport for London and Greenspace Information for Greater London (GiGL) agreed standards. Provide research, policy, analytical and advisory services for green infrastructure, biodiversity and natural capital.

Deliver natural-capital accounting, ecosystem-service valuation, Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote-sensing analysis, and monitoring of green cover and biodiversity units. Provide feasibility advice for habitat banks and offsetting, and develop innovative tools and methods balancing enhancement with operational safety.

Provide research, analysis and technical assessment of health, equality and socio-economic impacts of Transport for London policies and schemes. Deliver Health Impact Assessments (HIAs), socio-economic assessments and Equality Impact Assessments (EqIAs), including quantification, modelling and appraisal of determinants such as activity, air and noise pollution, safety and accessibility.

Integrate assessments, recommend mitigation, engage stakeholders, and support statutory duties. Provide environmental assessment and advisory services to secure consents and manage impacts for Transport for London projects and plans.

Lead Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs), including screening, scoping, baseline studies, topic assessments, carbon and Biodiversity Net Gain evaluation, mitigation and enhancement design, stakeholder engagement, and Environmental Statements. Provide independent expert-witness support and post-consent monitoring.

Provide specialist noise and vibration monitoring, modelling, assessment and mitigation for transport projects, operations and policies. Deliver baseline measurement and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) inputs using recognised methodologies, and develop mitigation strategies for design, operations and construction.

Support policy development and research, including emerging technologies. Provide clear technical reporting and defensible expert-witness evidence.

Provide climate modelling, mapping and data analysis to assess climate risks to Transport for London assets. Deliver hazard modelling for heat and flooding, exposure and vulnerability assessments, and scenario testing.
