Technical Assistance for the development of a Quality and Environment Integrated Management System

Italferr was engaged in the assistance of the Romanian Railways (see: Compania Nationala de Cai Ferate) for the development and implementation of the Quality and Environment Integrated Management System.
This important assignment was obtained thanks to the high-level of know-how matured by Italferr through the application of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards to large national and international railway infrastructure projects.

The project required that the Integrated Management System were applied to the following activities:
• maintenance of the Romanian railway lines and systems;
• modernisation and development of the existing lines;
• assignment of train paths;
• railway company property assets management.

Moreover, a training activity, directed to the executive and intermediate level personnel of the contractor’s managing structures, has been arranged in Romania.

The agreement has been financed by the World Bank. 
  
Activities were completed in 2009.
