1. In the first step, we work with you to determine your company’s needs in the area of environmental analysis:

• Would you like to verify whether your company is complying with legally mandated limits?
• Do you need assistance preparing for a permitting process or audit?
• Would you like to optimize your environmental management and environmental analysis processes?

2. Our experts develop a customized plan for the use of measurement technology and sampling.

3. The analyses are conducted in our accredited laboratories. The results are evaluated and precisely documented in a report.

4. Upon request, as part of our environmental consulting services, we use the data collected to develop recommendations for further measures and process optimizations.

Real-world example

As part of a permitting process, a manufacturing facility must demonstrate compliance with relevant limit values for water, air, soil, and waste. At the same time, internal environmental management processes should be reviewed and better documented.

Infraserv Höchst first determines the analysis requirements, plans the sampling and measurement procedures, and conducts the tests in accredited laboratories. The results are evaluated, documented, and prepared for reporting, audits, or permit applications. If necessary, the environmental consulting team derives specific recommendations for further measures and process optimizations.

The result: valid data, clear documentation, and a solid foundation for operations, communication with regulatory agencies, and internal decision-making.

Infraserv Höchst helps you manage permitting processes in a safe, efficient, and predictable manner. Our experts review requirements early on, coordinate documentation and expert reports, facilitate communication with regulatory agencies, and help reduce risks associated with plant operations.

• Greater investment security
• Improved project planning and production start-up
• Reduced risk due to incomplete or outdated permits
• Structured application processes and complete documentation
• Experienced support during permitting procedures, operation, modifications, and decommissioning
