Aberdeen-based STC INSISO has secured a six-figure contract with HS2 Euston, led by principal contractor Mace Dragados.
The three-year deal, which has already commenced, sees the business performance improvements firm embed COMET, a root cause analysis toolkit to manage and resolve incidents and unplanned events that may take place on the project to redevelop London Euston station.
STC INSISO usually work across oil and gas, waste and utilities, medical, hospitality, manufacturing and marine, so this is its first foray into the rail sector.
Managing director Mark Rushton said: “COMET is the perfect solution for this as it helps organisations understand what has gone wrong, what could go wrong, and what they need to do to prevent incidents.
“As we launch COMET Assured in January 2022, it is expected to assist the project in prioritising and addressing systemic root causes, and maintaining performance improvement throughout the construction.”
The problem-solving company also entered a six-figure contract earlier this month with East West Rail, following a related project to create a product to develop the company’s equality, diversity and inclusion programme.
This will allow East West Rail to detect problems and opportunities from different angles, developing competency in inclusive behaviours to ensure the right people are involved in the right situations.
Rushton added: “Our solutions and behavioural competency programmes are about being aware of unconscious bias, based upon an individual’s values, technical experience, and background.
“It’s about developing competency in trusting behaviours to bring the best out in people.”
STC INSISO has also secured accreditation for the training programmes used to roll out equality, diversity and inclusions skills and knowledge.
