a. PLANNING PHASE

1. FEASIBILITY STUDIES & DUE DILIGENCE

We believe that successful projects, regardless of sector, require a combination of technical and managerial expertise that comes through judgment, care, prudence and determination of a particular task or project. SustiGlobal’s experienced specialists provide a wide range of services across this segment. The expertise we have enables us to advice clients based on our far-reaching knowledge and prowess that was earned through involvement in various projects in different sectors and different economies. So far we have conducted feasibility studies for landfill siting, mine expansions among other studies in Zimbabwe.

2. GEO-INFORMATICS SYSTEMS & REMOTE SENSING

SustiGlobal has a wealth of experience in Remote Sensing; and other spatial data acquisition tools that can gather geo data and its corresponding attributes. Through GIS an organizations can run its daily activities, manage developments & monitor assets and general performance. To achieve that, the acquired geo-data is then fed into a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment where manipulation is carried out resulting in maps, tables and results that enable informed decision by the client. We have applied GIS expertise in the following sectors;* Energy Transmission & Distribution* Water and resources modeling* Pollution Modeling* Transport and logistics* Telecommunication * Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) among

other sectors

Our GIS technology has incorporated traditional surveying methods that uses total stations and deferential GPS to map Ground Control Points (GCP) in Geodetic Surveys.

3. BASELINE SURVEYSOur experience in carrying out Environmental & Social Impact Assessments (ESIA) of various projects and our tried and tested multi-disciplinary teams of experts makes us qualified to conduct the following surveys;* Soil surveys (for engineering & agricultural purposes)* Water quality assessment & monitoring* Ecological surveys & risk assessments* Hydro-geological surveys

The surveys are conducted basing on our deep scientific background.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS (ESIA)

Environmental & Social Impact Assessment is the process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mitigating the biophysical, social, and other relevant effects of development proposals before major decisions & commitments are made. Projects that requires EIAs are; those in the mining, construction, heavy industries, telecommunication, electricity generation et cetera; that have got

significant impacts to the environment according to World Bank guidelines and the Zimbabwean Environmental Management Act (CAP 20:27). We has got a registered and reliable team of experts that are drawn from environmental sciences, ecology, pedology, hydrology, engineering, and social sciences among other fields depending on the nature of assessment to be undertaken. The ESIA team has collectively

conducted hundreds of EIA studies across the region with SustiGlobal and other consulting firms. As part of ESIA, the consultancy team has at times conducted Relocation Action Assessment (RAA) along stretches of the projects such as transmissions, roads and pipe lines. Where best alternative routes should be determined, GIS specialists are engaged.

b. OPERATIONAL PHASE

5. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING & AUDITING

Environmental Monitoring and Auditing are post-ESIA services we are proud to offer with excellence. The process of monitoring involves the measuring and recording of relevant variables (bio-physical and socio—economic) associated with development impacts (e.g. traffic flows, dust, noise, employment). It provides information on the characteristics and functioning of these variables in time and space, and in particular on the occurrence and magnitude of impacts. Monitoring include a systematic collection of various types of information quarterly in line with EMA (CAP 20:27) and other applicable requirements. It is through monitoring and auditing the Environmental Management Plan (a section in the ESIA report) is operationalized to ensure sustainable development.

6. OCCUPATIONAL, HEALTH & ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE SURVEYS

This is one of “after ESIA” services that as SustiGlobal we can offer to our esteemed clients to ensure compliance with best practices as would have been highlighted in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) in the ESIA report. The following are some of the services;

(1) AIR POLLUTIONWe conduct stack emissions monitoring in line with our Environmental Management Act (20:27) and the Statutory Instrument (S.I) 72 of 2009. We have over five years of Stack Emissions Monitoring experience for generators, boilers, kilns, vehicles, generators, incinerators and etc. We use the latest models of Germany-made Optima 7, to measure; O2, CO2, Stack gas Temperature). (up to 1,100 °C), NO, NO2, NOx, SO2 & Particulate Matter. Coupled with GIS experience, we can conduct plume dispersion & air pollution modeling.

(2) DUST (PM 2.5 & PM 10)We use the state of the art, Casella Microdust Pro testers to measure respirable dust in mine shafts, workshops, hotels, hospitals and other areas where dust is produced or trapped. The equipment has got a; real time graphical display, extensive range: 0.001mg/m3 to 250g/m3, sampling for total respirable dust, with a potable on-site calibration insert.

(3) HEAT STRESSWe use the latest Heat Stress; Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) equipment sourced from United States (US). The machine uses the wet bulb and black globe in line with ISO 7243. The following are the key parameters that we can measure; WBGT( indoor) 0 – 59°C, WBGT (outdoor) 0 - 56 °C, Air Temperature 0 - 50 °C, Black Globe Temperature 0 - 80 °C, Humidity 1 - 99%, Dew Point Temperature -35.3 - 48.9 °C, Wet Bulb Temperature -21.6 - 50 °C. The equipment is used to assess heat in canteens, thermal power generation & smelting plants among other heat producing areas.

(4) NOISEWe use the state of the art, real-time, Digital Sound Level Meter, CEL 63X series from Casella Instruments. The equipment is capable of measuring both environmental and occupational noise; which is conducted according to ISO 9612 while environmental noise measurements are based on ISO1996. They also have a single measurement range up to 140dB and a real-time octave & 1/3 octave measurements.

(5) VIBRATIONSustiGlobal uses a high powered and latest Amittari instrument that can measure the vibration parameter of triaxial and single axis simultaneously, in accordance with ISO 2954. Its vibration testing range is from 10Hz to 10kHz. It has optional headphones for use as electronic stethoscope. This is used in area where workers are subjected to vibrating environment especially for the jack hammer operators.

(6) ILLUMINATIONPoor lighting is work place usually results in visual fatigue and eye strain. To quantify light as work places we use potable Tenmars testing equipment that measure the luminance in the level of the working task (table) +/- 0,85M above the floor (outdoors 0,5m above the ground) according to international guidelines. Over the years, we conducted luminance surveys in classrooms, gymnasia, corridors, restrooms, workshops and warehouses according to JIS standard Z 9110-1979.
