Umweltos Waste Feasibilities

Strategic feasibility and planning for waste infrastructure success

We provide comprehensive feasibility analyses for waste management projects, evaluating technical, financial, environmental, and regulatory aspects. Our studies identify risks, opportunities, and cost-benefit scenarios to ensure projects are grounded in reality and designed for long-term success. From site selection to technology assessment, we deliver actionable insights to guide sound investment and decision-making.

Building Permits

The PMO manages the preparation and submission of documentation required to obtain municipal and state building permits for waste management facilities. This includes coordination with local authorities, review of zoning and land-use regulations, and alignment with applicable construction codes to ensure projects meet all legal and procedural requirements before implementation.

Waste Valuation Study

This study determines the economic potential of waste streams by analyzing their composition, generation rates, and possible recovery or treatment options. It supports investment decisions by identifying opportunities for material recovery, energy generation, or by-product commercialization, translating waste flows into measurable financial value.

Structural Reports for Machine Assembly

Comprehensive structural evaluations ensure that foundations, slabs, and support structures can safely accommodate heavy machinery and process equipment. The service includes load calculations, design verification, and compliance with civil and mechanical standards, reducing installation risks during construction and operation phases.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

The PMO prepares Environmental Impact Assessments (Manifestaciones de Impacto Ambiental, MIA) in accordance with SEMARNAT and local environmental authorities. The process includes baseline studies, impact modeling, mitigation planning, and stakeholder consultation to secure environmental authorization and minimize ecological and community risks.

Social Licence Management

This service identifies and manages community expectations and potential conflicts related to waste infrastructure projects. It includes social baseline assessments, stakeholder mapping, and the implementation of communication and engagement plans to build and maintain trust, ensuring long-term social acceptance of the project.

Financial Evaluation of Investment Projects

A detailed financial analysis quantifies the viability of proposed waste management projects. The evaluation covers CAPEX and OPEX estimates, sensitivity analyses, and return-on-investment projections, providing decision-makers with a robust basis for comparing project alternatives and securing financing.

Determination of Electrical Capacity

This study assesses the existing electrical infrastructure and determines the power requirements for waste treatment, sorting, or recovery facilities. It includes load calculations, transformer sizing, and coordination with the utility provider to ensure sufficient and reliable energy supply throughout the project’s operational life.

Process Analysis

A technical review of process design and operational workflows to ensure optimal efficiency, safety, and compliance. The PMO evaluates treatment technologies, material flow, energy consumption, and resource recovery rates to optimize system performance and identify opportunities for process improvement or cost reduction.

Review of STPS Regulatory Compliance

The PMO conducts an exhaustive review of occupational health and safety compliance according to Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS) standards. This includes verification of NOM-STPS regulations for workplace safety, ergonomics, handling of hazardous materials, and industrial hygiene, ensuring safe and lawful project execution.

Utilities & Infrastructure Assessment

This study examines the availability and capacity of essential utilities such as water, gas, roads, and telecommunications for the proposed project site. The assessment identifies connection points, off-site infrastructure needs, and potential constraints that may impact construction or operational efficiency.

Site Suitability & Geotechnical Study

An integrated evaluation of site conditions including topography, hydrology, geology, and soil mechanics to determine the physical suitability of the location. The study provides key data for foundation design, drainage planning, and environmental protection measures, supporting safe and cost-effective site selection and development.
