For your project we help you identify potential conflicts and constraints and carry it through to technical designs and prescriptions. We look at the state of the environment to understand what biological elements are using the habitat and how they may be potentially affected by a project, both in the marine and freshwater environments.
We are experienced partners in navigation through the regulatory process, due to our strong relationships with First Nations, Federal, Provincial and Municipal agencies as regulators and as clients. We are known for our assessments of projects that consider long term sustainability and the social responsibility that entails.
Our marine unit is equipped with certified divers and ROV operators to help inspect underwater infrastructure or to guide and manage the creation of habitat such as eelgrass beds or kelp propagation for habitat banking or offset. Similarly, our freshwater staff is trained and experienced in environmental construction monitoring, pre-construction salvage efforts, mitigation and sediment/water management techniques, guidance of equipment operators during sensitive projects and post-construction site rehabilitation.
What makes us more efficient is our custom in-house made environmental management software made for mobile devices to streamline the data collection process and ensure transparent, detailed and consistent reporting. With our geomatics unit we can provide the spatial understanding of a project including topographic surveys, ecosystem mapping and aerial photography. M.C. Wright and Associates Ltd. is certified as a Safe Company with the BC Forest Safety Council SAFE Company Program.
