KEA Environmental is an interdisciplinary consulting firm headquartered in downtown San Diego. A vital aspect of our expertise is environmental compliance. After a project has undergone rigorous environmental planning and review and has obtained the necessary permits, the next step can be precarious. Often during project implementation, the final design can differ from the original design that was approved for permitting. However large or small, these excursions can lead to additional environmental impacts and schedule delays. The final design process can be successfully monitored using the functionality of ArcView GIS combined with CADD to measure and evaluate the impact of changes to a project's footprint.
