Wardell Armstrong International provides a range of project design services including plant specification and selection, emissions abatement advice and wind farm layout design and optimisation.

The UK Government supports rapid expansion of the renewables industry yet gaining planning permission remains a major stumbling block to successful project development. WAI provides planning support services to both applicants and local authorities that need expert advice. We also undertake Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) applications on behalf of clients for biomass and waste to energy plant.

All significant renewable energy projects need an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Delays in decision making, inconsistency of approach and incompleteness of EIAs can kill potentially good projects. To address this problem WAI has developed a robust EIA methodology using standardised templates and the latest GIS, visualisation and modelling software for producing Environmental Statements and Reports. WAI’s methodology meets UK regulatory requirements, addresses all the issues, yet offers client considerable savings in time and cost.
