Every major project is unique. We take a customized approach to helping you with your environmental assessment and compliance.

What We Do

Just like your EAO project, Bravo Zulu is unique. We take the time to explore your project and needs with curiosity. We'll help proactively manage your regulatory and compliance risk, and maximize your opportunities. 

Our ability to provide customized solutions comes from our Director-level, insider experience within the EAO. For over eight years, our founder led the overhaul of EAO’s approach to EA Certificates and the development of EAO's compliance and enforcement branch. Add that knowledge to our wide-ranging, practical industry experience, and you have a partner with the track record you need to be successful.   

Bravo Zulu is different from other environmental consulting firms, because we specialize exclusively in EAO projects. .

The BC EAO Process
 
  • When your internal and consulting teams are coming together, and you’re ticking all the boxes to begin the EA process, what’s the next step? Now is the time to take a step back and assess who’s in your corner. We’re here to help you navigate the EA process and provincial dynamics, and our EAO subject matter experts are a key supplement to your team.

  • The wording in EA Certificates must be clear for all parties to understand, and practical for proponents to implement. Bravo Zulu provides regulatory and industry insider experience to help with this process. During the final months of the EA, we can jump in for a detailed review of the draft EA Certificate. We can work with you to coordinate a comprehensive review with your legal experts, internal teams, and consultants.

  • The old ways of managing compliance no longer align with how the regulator enforces EA Certificates. Non-compliances can cost hundreds of millions of dollars and lead to schedule delays. Supplementing your team with our EAO compliance and enforcement expertise will help set your project up for success before construction even begins. We can also chart a practical path forward if your project is already underway and experiencing compliance challenges.

  • Regulators are increasingly focused on erosion and sediment control. The challenges with managing ESC in British Columbia’s diverse environment can lead to hundreds of millions of dollars of unexpected costs and schedule delays. Bravo Zulu and our partners assess and reduce ESC regulatory risk to position your project for success.

  • Vague language no longer has a place in management plans, and often leads to non-compliances and enforcement. We provide expert advice to prevent this, ensuring your management plans are clear, measurable, and practical to implement. We'll review your draft plans and provide a clear path forward to ensure accountability and flexibility that benefits all parties.

  • The EA process and compliance with EA Certificates both come with a wide range of risks that can pop out of nowhere. Our EAO and industry experience allows us to bring fresh eyes to identify the risks facing your team. Our experience with issues in the interface between proponents, regulators, and Prime contractors means we see risks others may not. We help you develop clear, practical strategies to get ahead of the issues.

  • Bravo Zulu has experience in developing customized training to support you in compliance, documentation, writing clear management plans, and more. We develop targeted workshops to gain input from diverse teams in a collaborative, productive way. Whether to identify risks or brainstorm solutions, our workshops support you in all stages of the EA process.
