Environmental Assessment and Approvals

Strum has a highly skilled team that focuses on serving corporate clients in a multitude of development related projects ongoing across Atlantic Canada. Our clients develop land, build buildings, undertake alternative energy projects and modify the landscape in ways that can have a deleterious effect on the biophysical environment. Strum provides a bridge between undertaking those projects in a timely and effective manner while ensuring that regulatory processes, developed to protect that environment are met and upheld.

Our team has extensive capability in assessing that environment, characterizing the sensitive receptors and designing mitigatory methods that facilitate that development while minimizing or eliminating negative effects.

Our biologists and environmental scientists are practiced in knowing how to solve these problems.
