From providing initial concepts, scopes and environmental risk evaluation, to readiness for the construction, commissioning and operational stages of infrastructure projects, Downes has the proven expertise to deliver the flow of effective services required for large, time-critical projects.

Downes Group has a proven track record in producing precise infrastructure surveys for development projects, particularly within the Energy and Resources sector, as well as providing planning advice for some of Queensland’s largest pipeline projects within both terrestrial and marine locations.  This work has included environmental risk analysis, environmental approval delivery and third party auditing at every stage.

Any large-scale project has the potential to affect the environment. We have the tools and expertise to assess the risks and minimise the project’s impacts while simultaneously ensuring the project meets all the requirements of Federal, State and Local Government regulations.

Already the recipients of several sustainability and conservation awards, Downes Group is continuing to deliver efficiently and effectively in the current fast-paced sectors associated with the Energy and Resources boom across Australia and the Pacific Rim, without compromising on quality and long-term, sustainable outcomes.

We can form teams and deploy best practice equipment from our discipline areas to confidently develop accurate, precise and timely services. By taking a “team deployment” approach, Downes’ Infrastructure clients receive a specialist team’s full attention. This provides a seamless “complete project” framework that delivers results.

We provide the following systematic, scientific and technical core services for infrastructure projects:

- Complete Project Management: Formulating, initialising, implementing
- Environmental risk analysis: Statutory identification, approval preparation and submission, compliance management with all approvals and standards (ISO 14001)
- Environmental assessment: Related to project formulation (alignment decisions), site-specific conditions, field-based ecology surveys, and report/application development to meet agency requirements
- Spatial Science teams and technology: Digital data management, surveying and resultant geographic information system (GIS)mapping
- Agency and key stakeholder liaison.

During all projects Downes will: 

- Start with the big picture

- Support collaborative partnerships

- Provide creative input

- Tailor plans for optimal results

- Be responsive and dependable
