At Tetra Tech, you will work with high-performing teams passionate about using their expertise to solve complex problems in water, environment, infrastructure, resource management, energy, and international development.

Our team (NALO – Noise, Air Quality, Lighting and Odour) of 30+ multidisciplinary environmental consultants conducts surveys, assessments, and provides advice on a wide range of situations, from small planning applications to acting as expert witnesses at hearings and inquiries. We utilize innovative computer-based modelling techniques to predict noise, air quality, wind, odour, lighting, or daylight/sunlight levels and assess acoustic performance. Our clients include UK MoD, Sainsbury’s, Amazon (projects in UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Poland & Egypt), as well as local authorities and various transportation, retail, housing, and commercial developers.

Our NALO services include:
