We have been certified with the ISO 14001:2004 as conforming to the Environmental Management System standard. Working in diverse regions and in different communities and terrain, Punj Lloyd has always maintained focus on sustainable development practices. Sustainable development for us stands for the balance between fulfilment of human needs with the protection of the natural environment so that these needs are met in the indefinite future as well. This is evident in most of our project sites where utmost care is taken to conserve the environment.

Before construction of Baku Tbilisi Ceyhan pipeline,
Punj Lloyd Limak - JV conducted a detailed vegetation
mapping along the pipeline Right Of Way (ROW) and
identified the threatened and rare species found in the
area. The surveys were followed with documentation,
compilation of environmental manuals, setting up of
procedures, formulation of plans, establishing of special
area reinstatement methods, preparation of reports and
mobilisation of resources. During the construction
phase, important areas were barricaded, erosion was
controlled, ROW and rivers were protected and
environmental training was imparted to all concerned.
In the post construction phase, reinstatement and bio
restoration were the most important activities carried out.

Our special achievements at this site were successful
reinstatement of the Zamanti River and the innovative
waste management activities carried out by us. The
Zamanti River and its floodplain is home to fish, eel,
aquatic and exotic plants and migratory birds. Between
the periods of their migration, breeding and ecological
constraints, we had only two months in the entire year
to execute this important river crossing. Care was taken
to preserve the top soil from the ROW and during
mobilisation of equipment, reinstatement of river and its
tributaries, re-contouring the land with re-growth of flora.
