EHV Structures are a specialised steel fabrication outfit based in Torquay. Operating since 2016, they are a leading company in the steel fabrication industry, designing, manufacturing and installing structural steelwork to the transmission and distribution market throughout the UK.
As EHV Structures expanded, they faced significant challenges in aligning their operations with international standards for quality, environmental, and safety management. Key issues included streamlining complex processes, adhering to stringent environmental regulations, and enhancing safety in a high-risk field.
With the help of SQR Group, who offer consultancy and compliance solutions, EHV were able to elevate their management systems and secure certification in ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety).
SQR Group devised a customised approach to transform EHV Structures’ operational frameworks:
- System Integration – Developed an integrated management system tailored to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, promoting seamless and efficient operations.
- Accreditation Guidance – Guided EHV through the rigorous accreditation process, ensuring strict adherence to all necessary standards.
- Training and Development – Conducted extensive training sessions to enhance the staff’s understanding and implementation of quality, environmental, and safety management practices.
- Ongoing Support and Maintenance – Instituted a regimen of continuous monitoring and proactive improvements to maintain system effectiveness and compliance.
Through partnership with SQR Group, EHV Structures not only achieved ISO certification but also significantly boosted operational excellence, environmental compliance, and workplace safety. This success has reinforced their industry standing and expanded their market opportunities.
Reflecting on the impact of ISO certification, the CEO of EHV Structures remarked, “The expert guidance and support from SQR Group were instrumental in navigating our ISO certification journey successfully. This milestone has not only optimised our operations but also fortified our competitive edge in the steel fabrication market.”
So, what have been the benefits of being ISO certified, and why did they choose to work with ISOQAR? “Achieving ISO certification has revolutionised our operational dynamics, significantly elevating our quality and efficiency while minimising our environmental impact and enhancing safety across all projects”.
“We chose ISOQAR because of their reputation for rigor, support, and integrity in the certification process, ensuring that we met international standards in the most thorough manner,” the CEO adds.
Finally, any advice for those going through the certification process? “For those embarking on the certification process, prioritise thorough preparation and embrace the changes. Engage a knowledgeable partner like SQR Group to guide you through the journey, focusing on building a culture that supports continuous improvement,” advises the CEO.
The partnership between EHV Structures and SQR Group highlights the power of ISO certification in improving operations and establishing industry leadership. Their commitment to high standards keeps EHV Structures at the forefront of quality, safety, and environmental care.
