Environment

QGMI develops projects and new opportunities in a wide range of ecological settings and is committed to managing its environmental impact and footprint in line with international best practice. We mitigate environmental risk through design optimization, impact assessment and roll-out of a project-level Integrated Management System.

IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND PERMITTING

As part of its service offering, QGMI can undertake the environmental impact assessment and permitting process for projects on behalf of its clients. We typically work with leading international consultancies partnered with local specialists in order to deliver impact assessments in line with national regulations and international standards. We also secure the necessary environmental permits for our projects and associated facilities.

Integrated Waste Management

At QGMI, we plan to adopt an integrated waste management approach, by assessing the various waste streams and adopting an approach of waste management. Our organic wastes are segregated, and a designed composter treats them. The result of the organic waste management can be applied to our reforestation projects.

Accugrade GPS Control System

We use a GPS technology to increase our productivity in earthmoving and grading processes. This Control System allows operators to grade more precisely and faster, which translates into higher productivity, lower operating costs, and a well-done work.

SAE (Electronic Monitoring System)

The Electronic Monitorig System was developed internally by the IT team, with the aim of monitoring the development of activities and working hours of workers and teams in real time, reducing access time to performance indicators for strategic decision making. The system, which is available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, works via smartphone by reading QR Codes affixed to equipment and on workers’ credentials. It works even where there is no internet available, as data can be stored in the phone’s memory and transferred when there is a Wi-Fi or 4G network signal. It improves cost management, productivity control and contributes to environmental sustainability.
