Environmental stewardship is a core part of Arkan Al-Faisal’s business. The company maintains an ISO 14001-certified Environmental Management System (covering its construction, trade, and logistics activities) and holds licenses for hazardous waste treatment. Its environmental services focus on health, safety and sustainability – critical concerns for government regulators and communities.

 Environmental Monitoring & Testing

Arkan Al‑Faisal offers structured support for environmental assessment services, aligning project execution with safety standards and regulatory compliance focused on air, water, soil, and noise monitoring.
Key Service Components:

• Ambient Air & Stack Emissions Testing

Measuring air pollutants at project perimeters and emission sources, ensuring air quality stays within acceptable public health limits.

• Water Quality Analysis

Testing groundwater and surface water for contaminants such as hydrocarbons, dissolved solids, heavy metals, and turbidity, to ensure safe and compliant operations.

• Soil Contamination Evaluation

Conducting surveys and sampling campaigns to analyze levels of hydrocarbons and toxic elements within affected soil, especially around industrial or spill-prone sites.

• Noise Level Surveys

Monitoring environmental noise across live worksites to verify compliance with regulatory thresholds and minimize impact on nearby communities.

Value & Reliability:

• Regulatory Alignment: These monitoring services support client compliance with environmental regulations throughout project lifecycles.

• Risk Mitigation for Public Integrity: Identifying hazardous exposure or contamination helps safeguard health and reputational risk.

• Quality Assurance Framework: Implemented at planning, operational, and closure stages to systematically assess environmental impact.

• Contextual Relevance: Basra’s strategic location—adjacent to oilfield zones and urban areas—necessitates rigorous environmental oversight. 

Regional studies highlight persistent concerns with air pollutants, soil hydrocarbons, and water contamination in southern Iraq (e.g., Shatt al‑Arab Basin monitoring)

Transparency Notes:

• While official Iraqi regulations mandate environmental testing, disclosure of detailed data—especially for oilfield activities—is often restricted or handled through third parties.

• Licensed contractors (like Arkan Al‑Faisal under its mobile waste treatment license) are typically engaged to manage environmental assessments. However, publicly available information does not confirm the presence of in-house labs or data publication practices.

 Arkan Al‑Faisal is positioned to coordinate environmental monitoring and testing services through trusted partners or licensed affiliates, ensuring compliance and public safety. Though detailed testing records are not published, the company’s environmental credentials support its ability to oversee critical impact assessments on behalf of clients and regulators.

 Waste Management & Remediation

Arkan Al‑Faisal partners with licensed operators to coordinate responsible waste disposal and remediation services, ensuring compliant handling of construction debris, oil-contaminated materials, and hazardous waste.

Core Capabilities Include:

• Waste Segregation & Handling: Organized separation of construction and industrial waste in compliance with regulated protocols.

• Hazardous Waste Coordination: Collaboration with certified mobile treatment units to safely process contaminated soil, chemical drums, and oil residues.

• Regulated Transport & Disposal: Ensuring all operations follow Instruction No. 3 of 2015 on Hazardous Waste Management, which mandates licensing, record-keeping, contingency planning, and proper transport documentation.

By aligning with national regulations and working alongside certified treatment partners, Arkan Al‑Faisal enables project stakeholders—including government agencies, international investors, and contractors—to meet environmental obligations while reducing risk and promoting public safety.

 Regulatory Compliance

Arkan Al‑Faisal ensures strict adherence to Iraqi environmental regulations, safeguarding both project integrity and community well‑being. By integrating pollution control and waste recycling measures, the firm helps clients meet mandatory legal requirements at every stage of development.

Core Compliance Measures:

• Environmental Licensing: Collaboration with certified environmental operators who hold the legally required permits for treating and transporting hazardous waste under Iraq’s Instruction No. 3 of 2015.

• Pollution Control & Waste Management: Implementation of waste segregation, recycling, and disposal following national guidelines to minimize ecological impact.

• Environmental Impact Reporting: Ensuring project activities comply with Law No. 27 of 2009, which mandates incident reporting to the Ministry of Environment and protection of water, air, and soil resources.

This emphasis on clean and compliant practices reflects the company’s belief that “a clean and safe environment is a pre‑requisite for health and quality of life.” Through rigorous environmental oversight and cooperation with licensing authorities, Arkan Al‑Faisal supports implementing projects that are both operationally successful and environmentally responsible.

 

By offering these services, Arkan Al-Faisal enables projects to minimize environmental impact. This is especially important for government and investors looking to support sustainable development. The firm’s track record of environmental oversight and certification reassures stakeholders that projects will adhere to best practices and reduce risks.
