RSK has over 20 years’ experience working in the Middle East in energy, water, infrastructure and the built and natural environment to international safety, health, environmental and quality (SHEQ) and lender funding standards. Our dedicated in-country teams and partners deliver environmental consultancy and geotechnical services throughout the Middle East, including Azerbaijan, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia.

Our technical and managerial expertise has been developed through years of diverse experience in the region and internationally. As one of the first consultancies of our kind to achieve certification to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, we have an unmatched dedication to protecting the environment, upholding health and safety standards and delivering practical solutions: from environmental, social and health impact assessments, terrestrial ecology and marine surveys; ground investigation and brownfield and topsides remediation; drilling facilities, well operations and reservoir studies; laboratory testing; decarbonisation; and waste management to water supply, delivery and distribution. Clients choose to work with us because we can offer a one-stop-shop for engineering, environmental management, geosciences and climate change services and they trust our track record for delivery, even in remote and challenging locations.

Supporting sustainable development and infrastructure in the Middle East

RSK recognises the considerable opportunities in the Middle East, from energy transition technologies through to major infrastructure projects, and has developed successful long-term relationships with clients and stakeholders across the region. Given our significant environmental and engineering skills, we are very well placed to support sustainable development throughout the region. For example, we conducted environmental audits to ensure compliance for the UAE’s first nuclear power plant in Barakah. Our multidisciplinary capabilities can support clients through the entire life cycle of their assets, from concept and permitting to decommissioning, across a range of energy process and utility markets.

Together with our global network, we facilitate projects throughout the region with our unique array of consulting and contracting services that are anchored by environmental due diligence, technical acumen and the highest occupational health and safety standards.
