Enveng Group were engaged by the Joint Venture Saipem and Clough (SCJV) to assist with delivering environmental management during the design, planning and construction of Project CERES, a state-of-the-art urea plant owned by Perdaman in Karratha, Western Australia.

As part of our role, Enveng Group was responsible for securing necessary environmental approvals, conducting comprehensive environmental assessments, managing onsite environmental risks such as flora and fauna management, protection of heritage values, Acid Sulfate Soils management and treatment, groundwater and surface water monitoring and management and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Enveng were also engaged in extensive stakeholder consultations, including interactions with local communities and indigenous groups (MAC), to address environmental concerns and promote sustainable practices.

Enveng Group’s expertise in environmental management  of high risk issues were crucial in supporting the successful delivery of this landmark project, which aims to contribute significantly to global food security and regional economic growth.

Additionally Enveng developed a comprehensive set of environmental management plans for the Client to address their obligations under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 and Environmental Biodiversity and Conservation Act 1999, and included a corresponding set of construction environmental management plans to ensure the EPC Contractor, SCJV, could manage environmental risk appropriately and in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Based on Enveng Group’s involvement on the Perdaman Project CERES Urea Facility, the environmental monitoring program extended across both the planning and construction phases and was designed to meet State and Commonwealth approval conditions. Monitoring activities included air quality and dust monitoring, noise and vibration monitoring, groundwater and surface water monitoring, acid sulfate soil management, and water quality assessments, together with ongoing inspections to verify compliance with Ministerial Statement obligations and environmental licence conditions. Enveng developed and implemented monitoring programs, established baseline datasets, supported groundwater extraction reporting, and prepared management plans to ensure potential environmental impacts were identified early and effectively managed.

In addition to physical environmental monitoring, Enveng delivered comprehensive flora, fauna, heritage and environmental risk monitoring across the culturally sensitive Murujuga landscape. This included regular assessment of vegetation and threatened species, implementation of fauna and flora management plans, heritage protection measures, stakeholder engagement, and monitoring of environmental controls associated with construction activities. On-site monitoring systems for dust, water and noise provided real-time environmental performance data, enabling proactive management of risks while supporting regulatory compliance and the successful delivery of one of Australia’s largest industrial infrastructure projects.
