This is the fourth successive year that ADK have been operating this invaluable management system in order to help deliver timely project success with our clients. ADK continue to look to adopt new standards for the future regarding environmental communication. Coupling this with our cutting edge R&D at Lancaster University around plant and animal biology and ecology as well as contaminated land we aim to strive to give clients sound environmental and independent advice and solutions to a range of environmental issues.





May 2007 

ADK were an integral part alongside Lancaster Environment Centre in giving a series of presentations to both their staff and students as well as other business, stakeholders and Local Authorities in respect of current research and development relating to contaminated land, brownfield land and associates' remediation issues.





April 2007 

ADK has now set up its new northern office based at Lancaster University in the newly built £35m state of the art Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC). This opened in Spring 2007 and allows ADK to have a high business profile location in association with a leading UK and internationally-recognised research led university.





March 2007 

After having a successful 3rd party audit ADK has now been accredited to the following international ISO certification awards for 9001: 2000 Quality Management, ISO 14001: 2004 Environmental Management and OHSAS 18001: 1999 Health & Safety.





June 2006 

After working for nearly two years alongside a leading national construction and utilities company providing environmental and ecological surveys, assessments, reports and advice, ADK was proud to receive an Environmental and Ecological Major Project award in relation to protecting and enhancing the biodiversity of Cumbria, during the construction of two new water pumping stations and 43km of associated potable water pipeline within the Lake District National Park.





June 2005 

ADK Environmental were successful in completing numerous ecological habitat surveys for protected species (such as white-clawed crayfish, otter, salmon, trout, bullhead, lamprey, River Jelly Lichen and other aquatic plant species) over a period of one year, and subsequently gained consent from the Environment Agency and English Nature (now Natural England) for our client in order that they could ‘open-cut' through a SSSI and cSAC river in the Lake District National Park as a part of a multi-million pound project to install 43km of potable water pipeline . This river is home to the indigenous population of White-clawed crayfish, a European protected species. It was initially commented upon negatively (by other environmental consultants, stakeholders and statutory consultees) that consent would either not be granted, or at the very least, extremely difficult to obtain.
