Local and Specialist Environmental Services

As each project and environment is unique, our consultants assess local conditions and source equipment tailored to the specific needs of each job.

 To provide integrated engineering and environmental solutions, we rely on an extensive network of specialist consultants and contractors. In addition, we also work with local suppliers around the world.

 i2D can collaborate as part of a multi-disciplinary team or manage a team of specialists for your marine infrastructure projects.
