Principles

 

BCMESL has particular expertise in, and believes in:

 

Conducting detailed consultations with all relevant parties, throughout the duration of a project. For example, the company believes that by working with the statutory bodies and interested parties, (rather than against them), the ultimate needs of the client will be far better served;

 

Working as a key team player, within large, multi-disciplinary teams. BCM Environmental Services Limited has, in several instances, been employed by a large international environmental consultancy, (ERM), to undertake the role of an environmental specialist ‘embedded’ within the engineering team during the design/EIA phases of large multi-national oil and/or gas pipeline projects. In this role, Brian Minshull worked remotely, (and often in radically different time-zones), from the rest of the EIA effort, in the design offices of the project engineering and/or client teams, and facilitated the flow of all pertinent environmental data to the engineering team, and all relevant engineering data to the EIA team;

 

Understanding the clients requirements, and the environmental implications of the same, and managing both without compromising either the clients wishes, or good environmental practice; and,

 

Ensuring that the environmental practice of the ‘live’ project conforms as closely as possible to the environmental principles of the same. Such principles are typically established prior to construction during the planning phases, and in some instances are created purely to facilitate planning clearance. The company believes that in addition to ensuring close adherence to the guidelines established during the planning phases by good, ‘hands-on’ environmental management during construction, the key to this is the careful understanding of the project, and the preparation of environmental documentation drafted specifically for the project, in conjunction with the project team and statutory bodies and well in advance of construction.


Company Project Procedure


As Managing Director, each project is managed by Brian Minshull, who is ultimately responsible for all aspects of that project and liaises directly with the client. As appropriate, he will delegate aspects of each project to associates, while retaining overall control of the project. Final reports are checked and authorised by Brian Minshull and the appropriate experts as required.


BCM Environmental Services Limited has its own in-house quality assurance procedures and is developing these with the aim of obtaining ISO9002 registration in the near future.


Company Health and Safety and Other Policy Statements


BCM Environmental Services Limited has long worked in close association with health and safety personnel on pipeline construction projects, and as such requires high standards of safety in fieldwork and elsewhere. The Company Health and Safety, Environmental and Equal Opportunities Statements are available on request.
