Preliminary Environmental Review (PER)
Expert Environmental Screening for Compliant Project Planning
Velosi delivers Preliminary Environmental Review (PER) services in Abu Dhabi to help project owners assess the environmental classification and regulatory path for proposed developments. Required by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD), the PER determines whether a project can proceed with a direct EPA or must undergo further assessment (e.g., EIA).
Our team of qualified experts prepares PER reports that evaluate the environmental sensitivity of your site, identify potential impacts, and provide regulatory recommendations, ensuring clarity, compliance, and informed decision-making from the earliest stages of development.
Velosi’s Preliminary Environmental Review (PER) services aim to provide clients with early-stage environmental clarity, enable efficient navigation of EAD’s regulatory process, and support responsible project planning in line with Abu Dhabi’s environmental protection standards.
