As Kenya grows—building roads, drilling boreholes, expanding towns, and exploring minerals—there’s one question every project must answer: How will this impact people and the planet?
At Geoscience Consulting E.A., our Environmental Services are designed to ensure that development doesn’t come at the cost of communities, ecosystems, or future generations. We help developers, county governments, NGOs, and investors understand, manage, and mitigate environmental risks before, during, and after a project.
Why Environmental Services Matter in Kenya Today
Across the country, we’ve seen what can happen when development outpaces regulation. Boreholes drilled too close to rivers drying up. Quarries left open near schools. Solar farms constructed without community consultation. These situations create long-term harm, legal setbacks, and loss of public trust.
Kenya’s environmental laws—led by NEMA (National Environment Management Authority)—require Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and Environmental Audits (EAs) for most projects. But compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about protecting water sources, reducing pollution, respecting local communities, and ensuring the land remains usable for generations.
At Geoscience Consulting E.A., we approach environmental work not just as consultants—but as custodians. We believe that development and environmental responsibility can coexist, and we help our clients make that possible.
What We Offer
Our Environmental Services go beyond paperwork. We offer end-to-end support—from baseline studies and stakeholder engagement to risk mapping and monitoring.
Whether you’re building a borehole in Turkana or a warehouse in Thika, we tailor our assessments to your project, location, and legal obligations.

For new projects—ensuring they meet legal standards and social/environmental expectations. - Environmental Audits (EA):
For ongoing projects—identifying environmental risks, gaps in compliance, and areas for improvement. - Hazard & Risk Assessments:
For flood-prone areas, slope instability, waste handling, and pollution vulnerability. - Stakeholder Engagement & Public Participation:
Community meetings, data collection, and structured reporting to ensure local voices are heard. - Climate Risk Screening & Adaptation Planning:
Understanding how climate variability may affect your project—and how to build resilience. - Waste Management & Restoration Planning:
Practical strategies to reduce, treat, and safely dispose of construction and industrial waste.
Real Stories, Real Impact
- In Isiolo, we helped a solar project gain EIA approval through early engagement with pastoralist communities, avoiding conflict and project delays.
- In Narok, our audit of a construction site helped the developer comply with NEMA while also improving drainage and protecting nearby wetlands.
- In Machakos, we worked with a quarry operator to develop a restoration plan that reuses topsoil and supports local tree planting efforts.
It’s Not Just About Compliance—It’s About Responsibility
Environmental assessments are more than legal obligations—they’re opportunities. Opportunities to build trust with local communities. To enhance a project’s public image. To reduce operational risks. And, most importantly, to safeguard the air, water, and land we all rely on.
Whether you’re a private investor, a public agency, or a community-driven initiative—Geoscience Consulting E.A. is ready to help you meet your environmental goals with integrity and expertise.
