Successful decommissioning hinges on well-crafted compliance standards. RESL excels at balancing environmental concerns with cost-effectiveness and operational safety. We partner with regulators to develop flexible, project-specific guidelines, optimising project management without unnecessary burdens.
This expertise benefits all stakeholders – operators, legislators, and the economy. With a deep understanding of the legal landscape, RESL leverages global experience to offer robust regional comparisons, best practices, and a solid foundation for informed decision-making.
