<p>Scope: Environmental monitoring program for two Turkish powerships operating near Zouk and Jiyeh Power Plants - temporary power generation filling gap during existing plant rehabilitation and new plant construction. Quality Assurance and Quality Control plan (sampling procedures, contamination control, lab accreditations, standard methods, equipment calibration/maintenance, data management system). Field sampling and analysis (field and laboratory): sediments, ambient air, stack emissions, noise, wastewater, solid waste, health and safety per Ministry of Environment Environmental Monitoring Plan frequency. Compliance evaluation against local and international standards and baseline conditions. Environmental monitoring reporting and operator alerts for alarming conditions.<br>Challenge: Achieve four Karpowership objectives: implement environmental monitoring per Ministry of Environment-approved EIA study recommendations, assess performance and efficiency of major project components associated with potential environmental impacts, promptly identify negative environmental impacts enabling proper mitigation measures, and operate in environmentally sensitive ecosystem already stressed by existing industrial facilities and corresponding emissions.<br>Approach: Comprehensive QA/QC plan established monitoring program rigor - sampling procedures, contamination control, lab accreditations, standard methods, equipment calibration/maintenance, and data management system ensuring data quality and defensibility. Field sampling and analysis conducted per Ministry of Environment frequency requirements across all environmental matrices: sediments, ambient air, stack emissions, noise, wastewater, solid waste, and health/safety parameters. Monitoring data evaluated for compliance with applicable local and international standards and compared against baseline conditions - any alarming problems reported immediately to operator enabling prompt corrective action. Environmental monitoring reports documented performance and compliance throughout operations.<br>Status: Completed</p>
Environmental auditing and monitoring
Laceco responded to the above objectives by:
Designing a consistent urban framework that nevertheless provided a diversity in the individual architectural character of buildings.
Curating a seamless pedestrian experience in a site that had a challenging topography and was exposed to dominant winds.
Anchoring the site along three platforms linked to each other by a continuous game of terraces, stairs, suspended bridges and esplanades that gently slope down the length of the development.
Conducting value engineering and cost optimization studies to preserve economic viability of the development.
Laceco responded to the above objectives by:
Preparation of a Quality Assurance and Quality Control plan summarizing all Sampling Procedures, Contamination Control Measures, Lab Accreditations and Standard Methods, Equipment Calibration and Maintenance, Data Management System.
Carrying out field Sampling and analysis (in the field or in the laboratory) for such parameters as Sediments, Ambient Air, Stack Emissions, Noise, wastewater, Solid waste, Health and safety in accordance to the frequency set in the Environmental
Monitoring plan recommended by the Ministry of Environment
Evaluating the monitoring data in terms of compliance with the applicable local and international standards and in comparison with the baseline conditions, and reporting any alarming problem to the operator
Preparing environmental monitoring reports
