NHSS 30 accreditation for FM Conway

Company first in UK to receive accreditation for installation, maintenance and repair of modular paving

FM Conway, specialist providers of infrastructure services, have become the first company in the UK to receive certification for the National Highways Sector Scheme for the Installation, Maintenance and Repair of Modular Paving (NHSS 30).

Following the successful completion of a two-day audit by the British Standards Institution (BSI), the accreditation assures the installed quality of all types of modular paving products by providing an industry benchmark and a basis for continuous improvement, while also emphasizing the importance of a properly trained workforce.

The first iteration of the scheme was launched in January 2013 but has since been subject to a full revision, which was launched in May this year. FM Conway worked closely with the Sector Scheme Advisory Committee 30 to develop the revised scheme, and acted as a pilot for this latest version.

Andrew Cox, health and safety director at FM Conway, said: ‘We are proud to have been at the forefront of developing this industry standard, and it is fitting that FM Conway have now become the first company to be accredited.

‘This achievement reinforces our position as both a market leader in modular paving and as an early adopter of management and quality-assurance systems, and we remain committed to promoting the highest standards across the industry.’
