More than 45 years of experience underpin SRK Consulting’s contribution to sustainable engineering across a range of sectors – equipping the company to develop and apply integrated, long-term solutions that respect future generations.
Our depth of expertise in all aspects of environmental, social and governance (ESG) is rooted in recognised principles of integrated environmental management and public participation.
SRK Consulting works across various sectors, providing clients with strategic insight and in-depth technical studies that highlight risks and opportunities across the project life cycle. Our independent, global network of experienced engineers and scientists work in multi-disciplinary teams – which generate innovative methods and technologies related to the environment, mining, infrastructure, water and energy.
The company’s footprint includes over 45 SRK offices across six continents, which harness the expertise of over 1,500 specialists in their fields. The independence of the group and our services is enhanced by its policy of taking no equity in the projects in which we are engaged. Our range of services can be categorised into four main areas: strategy and advice; design, engineering, resource management and monitoring; studies and audits; and compliance and authorisations.
