London’s ‘super sewer’ builder Tideway sponsors Emerging Talent award in CQI’s inaugural International Quality Awards

Tideway is aiming to deliver the project – one of Europe’s biggest – in a transformational way, both during construction and in the legacies it leaves behind. In total, the project is expected to create 4,000 direct sustainable jobs, with one in every 50 site jobs an apprenticeship. 

It wants to raise the level of understanding of quality at all levels in both its own organisation and the wider construction industry. It promotes the right behaviours, and governance, to meet its stakeholder and shareholder requirements.

“We want to improve productivity by promoting lean thinking and continuous improvement by working collaboratively with our contractors and supply chain,” said Karen Young, Head of Quality at Tideway.

By partnering with CQI, Tideway hopes to be at the forefront of the movement to bring quality to the forefront of our daily routines across engineering and construction.”
