Social Survey for a Proposed Water Treatment Plant

Although previously set aside due to low importance, the social aspects of a project have been recently embraced as one of the most important factors for the success of a project. Community complaints is one of the social aspects that often contribute to a projects failure due to low acceptance in the community.

b>Pacific Spectrum Environmental was engaged by DCCD Engineering Corporation to conduct a social survey in Muntinlupa City to ensure that the community has been informed about the project specifications and what it can provide the community in terms of services and benifits.

Water Quality Assessment of Subic Bay (Morong, Bataan)

Pacific Spectrum Environmental conducted a water quality assessment of Subic Bay up to the Morong (Bataan) side for our clients in the land development industry. The objective of the study is to determine the pollutant concentration in the area as an input to a contaminant transport modeling activty. The parameters included heavy metals, physical, biological as well as chemical properties.

Environmental Site Assessment of Avida Land Property

Pacific Spectrum Environmental investigated the underlying soil and groundwater of an Avida Land Property located somewhere in Mega Manila which was suspected to have been contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) due to pollutant migration coming from an adjacent industrial facility which was previously closed down.

The results were recorded and recommendations were incorporated in the final environmental site assessment (ESA) report.

Coral Reef Monitoring

Pacific Spectrum Environmental has conducted several coral reef monitoring activities for Kepco Ilijan Corporation (KEILCO) located in Ilijan, Batangas. KEILCO is a 1251-MW combined cycle power plant that provides power to the grid. The semi-annual coral reef monitoring activities conducted by our company is part of the requirements of their foreign investors.

The activity involves the use of scuba gear as well as video and still photography equipment to monitor the status of the coral reef in the area.

Environmental Seminars & Workshops

Pacific Spectrum Environmental offers in-house seminars to various industrial companies, industrial parks, export processing zone administrations, professional and industry organizations, academic institutions and local government units.  The general approach is for these organizations to co-organize the seminar, as a ‘host-organization’ in their respective areas while Pacific Spectrum Environmental handles the course organization, develops the seminar materials, and provides competent and highly qualified resource persons.  Other logistical arrangements (venue, dates, meals, and other seminar materials) may be discussed between the host organization and the organizers.

Pacific Spectrum Environmental organizes a continuing environmental engineering education series designed for Pollution Control Officers (PCOs), environmental officers and managers, research and design engineers, industrial waste technologists, environmental regulators, and the academe.
The main objective of the seminar series is to provide technical knowledge on various environmental engineering fields and practical applications of available environmental technologies to people who are main players in the private, government and non-government sectors and to promote environmental awareness and concern to all the participants.


Each seminar will be designed to accommodate the technical needs of the members of the host organization.  The seminar topics may be presented at various levels of discussions depending on the technical background and experience of the participants.
