CASE STUDY: CON-FORM Contracting Limited

 

Environmental solutions

 

CON-FORM Contracting Limited is a company that recognises that disciplines of Quality, Health and Safety and Environmental Management are a vital and integral part of its daily business. With IMSM's assistance, the company has achieved certification for both ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 and dedicates appropriate resources to ensure that these well-respected and internationally recognised standards are applied and maintained.

Simon Harding, Quality Assurance & Marketing Manager, said that he chose IMSM to take them through the ISO I4001 process because they already had a good working relationship with one of IMSM's auditors, who had helped CON-FORM grow its business with his sound advice.

“Having obtained ISO 9001 certification with IMSM, it seemed the logical process to work with them on the goal of adding ISO 14001 to the company's standards.”

From its offices in England , Scotland and Ireland , CON-FORM provides advanced, innovative engineered solutions for ground improvement and remediation for the construction market throughout the whole of the UK and Ireland . A tea m of professionally trained and dedicated personnel offer an unrivalled service through quality workmanship, value for money and exceptional customer care, with the aim of also minimising wastage of the earth's natural resources. Their ability to modify the properties of contaminated or geotechnically unsuitable soils has resulted in the modification of  over 4 million tonnes of material in 2006 alone that would have otherwise been classified as "waste".

CON-FORM's customer base includes  prestigious companies such as AMEC, Mowlem, Taylor Woodrow, W H Malcolm, Mainland Construction, Weaver, Wimpey Homes, Wrekin, Gilbert Ash, Pattons, Precision Construction, Tesco, Stagecoach UK Bus and Arriva.

The company policy calls for continuous improvement in its quality and environmental management activities and their construction methods and designs deliver sustainable environmental solutions, in accordance with Government guidelines and best practice.

In terms of the benefits that the company has derived from implementing ISO 14001, Simon said, “In the eyes of its customers, ISO 14001 had become a critical criterion when deciding where to source their business, and although it would not necessarily preclude companies being included in their supply base, it was certainly a key advantage when companies such as CON-FORM were tendering for their business.  CON-FORM was also keen in its own right to become an ISO14001 registered company as it supported the environmental ethos of the company and was strongly aligned with the goals of the company. IMSM helped us achieve this and we would have no hesitation in recommending their services to others.”
