Project Oriented Environmental Management Systems (POEMS)
On the 8th July 2004 the joint Deputy Chief Executive (DCE) and the Deputy Chief of Defence Logistics (DCDL) released a letter which mandated the “Introduction of a Joint DPA and DLO Business Process for Safety and Environmental Management”.
To ensure that a consistent approach to the generation of Environmental Cases was adopted the Project Oriented Environmental Management System (POEMS) was introduced.
Atkins RolesAtkins has developed a number of POEMS and has extensive experience in the following areas:
Environmental legislation identification
Atkins possesses an in-depth knowledge and understanding of UK, EU, and international environmental legislation, standards and regulations.
Stakeholder Identification
Atkins has experience of identifying the necessary stakeholders to enable a successful POEMS to be developed.
Screening and Scoping
Atkins has a thorough knowledge of both military systems/equipment and environmental issues, thus ensuring a comprehensive identification of a system/equipment’s environmental aspects and impacts.
Impact Evaluation and Prioritisation
Atkins has experience in developing risk-scoring methodologies to assess and prioritise environmental impacts. This ensures that the mitigation effort can be concentrated on those impacts with the greatest environmental risk.
Environmental Impact Assessment and Reporting
Atkins has an in-depth knowledge of developing Environmental Impact Scoping and Screening Reports (EISS), Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Reports and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS).
Developing Environmental Management Plans
Atkins has experience identifying environmental objectives and developing suitable environmental targets to meet those objectives.
Why Atkins?The development of a POEMS by Project Teams is a new and potentially time and resource consuming task. A number of Project Teams have appreciated the importance of swift implementation of the required procedures and continue to look to Atkins for guidance.
Being a multidisciplinary consultancy, Atkins is able to combine their considerable environmental and military systems experience to enable POEMS to be tailored to each project.
Atkins works closely with the Project Teams and stakeholders to ensure that there is agreement on any decisions made; this is achieved through the regular running of workshops and through the provision of a single point of contact for all environmental issues.
Our ExperienceAtkins has successfully developed POEMS for the following platforms:
• Panther Control and Liaison Vehicle (CLV).
• Terrier armoured engineer vehicle.
• High Velocity Missile System (HVM), including the Stormer Vehicle.
• Type 45 Destroyer.
• Royal Navy Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (RNJTIDS).
• Battery system for Successor submarine program.
• A variety of Command Support and Intelligence Solutions (CSIS) IPT projects
