We provide the following services and processes designed to assess preliminary project risks and to identify options that avoid or minimize such risks:

• Pre-feasibility and feasibility studies and Critical Issues Analyses
• Routing and siting alternatives analyses
• GIS mapping and analysis of land use data
• Constraints analysis (e.g., land use, constructability, regulatory, existing infrastructure, environmental, cultural resources, safety)
• Development of pre-permitting strategies and schedules for critical path efforts
• Public outreach and stakeholder engagement

Merjent’s permitting and compliance specialists have decades of experience providing expert advice on assessing routing and siting risks and associated regulatory issues, especially as they pertain to large-scale linear energy projects and renewable energy projects.  Our clients benefit from the collaborative efforts of a team of seasoned professionals who keep up-to-date on changes to land use data and federal, state, and local regulations that could impact their existing and planned projects.

The Merjent team performs the appropriate studies and conducts the necessary regulatory consultations needed to obtain the required permits in support of your projects.

Using information and options identified during the planning and environmental review stages of a project, Merjent prepares project-specific permit applications, plans, and approval request documents.

We work collaboratively with our clients to engage with applicable resource agencies and governmental authorities to secure project approvals.
