Tim Brice Construction Manager at ISG congratulated the Adana Construction site team, Tim Richards Site Manager, Martin Maloney General Foreman, Robin O'Mahoney Site Engineer and all the Adana workforce.
The league table is based on a points system taking into account, Safe Working Practices, use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Method Statements, Risk Assessments, Quality and Workmanship, Good House Keeping, Standard of Supervision, Toolbox Talks and the Safety Card System.
On Saturday 12th December 2009 Adana Construction held an Office and Site Staff Meeting at its offices in Hillgate Stockport. Joe Jassim Managing Director opened the meeting welcoming all the staff. The Agenda included, Health & Safety, Achilles Accreditation - Building Confidence, Investors in People (IIP), Quality, Procedures, Plant & Material, QS Matters, Company Vehicles, Web Site & Marketing Material, Clients, Current & Future Work for the Company.
Within Health & Safety the wearing of safety glasses on sites was discussed. On Bovis Lend Lease and our new client ISG Regions sites it is mandatory to wear safety glasses. To maintain consistency on all Adana sites, from 4th January 2010 it will be Adana Company policy for all Adana Staff and Operatives to wear safety glasses.
Adana Construction committed to investors in people (IIP) a number of years ago. Its managers have just completed six IIP workshops and started site operative appraisals. Adana Construction has applied for IIP recognition and it is planned for the assessment process to take place in February 2010.
Joe Jassim said the future work load for the Company looks promising and thanked everyone for their hard efforts and contributions.
The meeting was very positive and it was agreed to hold meetings at least twice a year.

Shepherd Construction achieved Practical Completion (PC) at Burnley New College on contract PC date of 3rd July 2009.
John Smith Principal of Burnley College said to Derek Urquhart Construction Manager and Mark Richardson Project Manager of Shepherd Construction, ‘You have exceeded our expectations and our expectations were very high.'
Mark Richardson SCL thanked Adana Construction for all the hard work and team effort that Adana have given over the past 18 months to help successfully complete the project.
This 25,600 m2 campus consists of a stepped 6 storey building, multi-use sports hall, all weather sports pitches, hard and soft landscaping.
The contract started in November 2007 with the site set up and Adana's works included constructing the proposed car park for site car parking. Working alongside the piling contractor Adana excavated, cropped the piles, cast the pile caps and ground beams. Due to the nature of the site Adana constructed a 6m high RC retaining wall on piles with Voltex tanking membrane. As the contract proceeded Adana installed underground drainage and ducting. Adana cast the escalator/ lift pits and the ground floor slabs. During the Contract Adana were awarded the 23,000 m2 Structural topping package on Bison floor units.
The site is split into two with the river Calder flowing down the middle. Adana reconstructed the river wall using the Tensar dry laid system with Geo grid which was also used between the main campus blocks. For access over the river Adana built a road bridge. Next to the all weather pitch Adana installed a Redi - Rock modular retaining wall.
Adana completed all the hard landscaping using La Linia paving and street furniture.
Adana's Contract value was £6million.
