Research & Environmental Consultancy
NEMA-compliant environmental impact assessments, regulatory compliance monitoring and carbon advisory for project developers across Africa.
Every major infrastructure project in Africa requires an EIA before works can proceed.
Environmental regulation in Africa is strengthening. Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia all require environmental impact assessments for significant development projects, with penalties for non-compliance that can halt construction, force demolition and result in criminal prosecution of responsible officers. International development finance from IFC, World Bank, African Development Bank and bilateral donors requires environmental and social impact management plans that go significantly beyond national minimum standards. Jos•Hansen environmental consultancy provides the EIA expertise, regulatory compliance monitoring infrastructure and sustainability advisory needed to navigate African environmental regulation, secure project approvals and satisfy the environmental standards of international finance institutions.
EIA services navigate NEMA and IFC project approval requirements.
Jos•Hansen EIA services cover the full regulatory scope from initial screening and scoping through baseline environmental surveys, impact assessment, stakeholder consultation and report submission to the relevant national environment authority. For projects requiring IFC Performance Standard compliance, we prepare Environmental and Social Impact Assessments and Environmental and Social Management Plans to IFC PS1-8 scope. Turnaround from initial brief to submitted report is 8-16 weeks depending on project scale and baseline data availability.
Reduction in unplanned breakdowns with a planned preventive maintenance programme vs reactive-only servicing
Maintenance schedules adapted from manufacturer specifications for African operating conditions
Service report issued per visit — compliance documentation for health authority and accreditation audit
Compliance monitoring systems generate regulatory evidence records.
Post-approval environmental management plans require ongoing monitoring against the conditions documented in the approved EIA. Jos•Hansen compliance monitoring programmes deploy fixed instruments, schedule periodic sampling campaigns and generate standardised compliance reports in the format required by each national environmental authority. Digital compliance platforms aggregate monitoring data, flag threshold exceedances and generate automated compliance status reports for submission to regulators and disclosure to lenders.
Carbon advisory builds the roadmap from measurement to net-zero.
Carbon footprint assessment covers Scope 1 direct emissions, Scope 2 purchased energy emissions and Scope 3 material value chain emissions, quantified to GHG Protocol Corporate Standard methodology. The assessment identifies the largest emission sources and maps reduction pathways including energy efficiency, fuel switching and renewable energy procurement. For companies subject to ESG investor reporting, Jos•Hansen prepares disclosures aligned to GRI, SASB, CDP and TCFD frameworks.
What a lifecycle partner actually does.
A maintenance contract is a document. A lifecycle partner is an engineering team that knows your equipment, stocks your parts, trains your technicians and keeps your systems running through every challenge the African environment presents.
Cross-manufacturer expertise
We maintain equipment from Accuray, Varian, Elekta, HORIBA, Siemens, GE and Olympus — across radiotherapy, laboratory, imaging and critical care. One service partner for your entire equipment estate.
End-to-end parts importation
We source, import, clear customs and deliver genuine OEM and high-quality compatible spare parts across East and Southern Africa. Local buffer stock of fast-moving items means no six-month waits for critical components.
Local biomedical technician training
We train your in-house biomedical team on equipment-specific maintenance procedures — building the internal capacity to handle routine issues and reduce your dependence on external engineers for every fault.
Regulatory compliance documentation
Every maintenance visit produces a structured service report — equipment status, work performed, parts replaced, compliance rating. The documentation your biomedical engineering department needs for health authority inspection.
A track record in numbers.
Lifecycle management is a long-term commitment. These are the numbers that define what Jos•Hansen has built over more than a century of medical equipment servicing in Africa.
