Archaeological Assessments

The in-situ protection of underwater archaeology should be regarded of equal importance and status to environmental preservation. Our services ensure full alignment with archaeological requirements established under national and international law, as well as industry standards and national soft-law policies. We tailor our support to the specific work scope, location, and maritime zone in which development projects are undertaken.

our approach

AI MSS aspires to shape and implement client-orientated solutions and turn complex challenges into innovative mitigation strategies, guaranteeing the effective protection of archaeological heritage and the environment more broadly. The output mitigation strategies we provide are fully align with our clients predetermined project outlines and aim to secure archaeological clearance without causing additional financial burden to clients by adding time and by extent costs to the operational framework of the project

Minimising Risk, Maximising Project Certainty
