requirements go hand in hand.
Feasibility studies establish a realistic and regulatory-compliant baseline for the project. We compile key information related to the environment, land use, natural values, and technical implementation, which guide route selections, area boundaries, investment decisions, and risk management. Early knowledge of, for example, protected species, groundwater areas, and construction constraints reduces uncertainties and supports controlled project planning.
Despro handles the EIA process, from alternative assessments and defining impact areas to studies, impact evaluations, and interaction with authorities and stakeholders. We also carry out EIA screening to determine whether a project falls under the EIA procedure. High-quality environmental and nature surveys form the backbone of the EIA process and are essential for a smooth permitting path.
Environmental and water permits require carefully documented and well-justified studies on the project’s impacts. We prepare environmental permit applications as well as water permit applications for projects that affect, for example, water bodies, groundwater, soil, or the surrounding environment. Thoroughly prepared application documents and impact assessments support regulatory decision-making and accelerate the progress of permitting processes.
Nature surveys provide a field-based and seasonally accurate view of the area’s natural values for the project. We carry out, among other things, species surveys, habitat mapping, assessments of ecological connections, and identification of valuable natural entities. The surveys are designed for each project and scheduled according to the seasons to meet regulatory requirements and support smooth planning.
Despro’s Environmental Manager Service brings a dedicated environmental expert to your project. The Environmental Manager is responsible for coordinating studies, managing permitting processes, reporting, and liaising with authorities, while also supporting technical design throughout the entire project. The service scales from individual projects to larger project portfolios, providing clarity in responsibilities, schedules, and compliance with environmental requirements.
Projects often require additional studies and expert statements. We prepare, for example, landscape and water body assessments, drainage notifications, and project-specific expert evaluations on natural values, the significance of impacts, and permitting procedures. These support comprehensive planning and ensure that the project’s environmental impacts are identified and managed in accordance with regulatory requirements

Data Center Projects – Webinar Recording
Data centers are a critical part of modern digital infrastructure, and their construction requires thorough preparation and close collaboration between multiple stakeholders. This recording walks through the key factors that determine the success of data center projects, from design to implementation.
The webinar explores how financial foundations, location, and risk analyses affect project success, and why clear communication between the client, designers, contractors, and consultants is essential. Through practical examples, it illustrates what effective project communication looks like and how schedules and risks can be identified and managed from the early stages. It also examines how to ensure the right expertise and sufficient resources throughout the entire project lifecycle.
The recording provides practical insights and tools to help ensure a smooth and successful execution of your next data center project.
