Since 2002, she has been involved in environmental studies, impact assessments, and permitting processes for the development of projects and facilities, supporting private companies, multinationals, and major energy players throughout the entire authorization lifecycle.

Her expertise includes environmental impact assessment, environmental due diligence, and constraint analysis, also leveraging advanced use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and thematic cartography to support project decisions.

As a Project Manager, she has contributed to feasibility studies, alternatives analyses, environmental monitoring plans, and compliance verifications for oil field development projects, onshore and offshore exploration activities, and energy facilities.

As a geologist and environmental consultant, she has also worked on environmental and geomorphological monitoring activities and the preparation of specialized technical mapping.

SERGIO ROMANO
Head of Geotechnics and Monitoring

Professional geologist with over 25 years of experience in applied geology, geotechnics, and advanced monitoring systems.

Throughout his career, he has carried out and coordinated numerous specialist studies in geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological, and geomorphological fields, operating in complex contexts both in Italy and abroad.

Specialized in the design and management of geognostic investigations, slope stability analyses, numerical modeling, local seismic response studies, and the implementation of instrumental and interferometric monitoring systems, he has developed cross-disciplinary expertise ranging from land protection and hydro-geomorphological risk assessment to the design of major infrastructure works and the management of sediments and excavated earth and rock materials.

As Co-Founder and Technical Director of the Geology and Geotechnics Division at Geoservizi S.r.l., he leads multidisciplinary teams in geological and geotechnical design for major road, railway, and hydraulic infrastructures, landslide mitigation and stabilization works, and seismic verifications for public authorities, Italian and international engineering firms, and construction consortia involved in large-scale projects.

In the gas exploration and production sector, Sergio Romano provides highly specialized expertise in geological and geotechnical site characterization, subsidence studies, definition of subsurface geotechnical models, risk analysis related to extraction activities, and management of integrated monitoring systems. He has also gained significant experience in hydrogeological compatibility studies, environmental assessments (EIA/SEA), GIS-based geographic data management, and technical support during regulatory authorization processes. Author of scientific publications in national and international journals, he continues to update his professional profile through specialized training and participation in working groups and complex projects in the geotechnical and infrastructure fields.
