- Water Environment EIA Chapters
- Water Framework Directive (WFD) Assessments
- Hydrology and Hydrogeology Assessments
- Water Quality Assessments
- Catchment and River Basin Studies
- Renewable Energy and Infrastructure EIAs
- Regulatory Engagement with the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales
