We’re delighted to announce that Express Freight Railway Consortium (CTP-11), a key project under WDFCCIL, has been officially recommended for the continuation of the ISO 9001:2015 certification—a globally renowned standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). This milestone is a strong testament to the Consortium’s consistent pursuit of precision, safety, and excellence in infrastructure design and execution.
Express Freight Railway Consortium is at the heart of India’s modern freight infrastructure transformation. Tasked with one of the most complex and ambitious projects in the country—Design and Construction of Civil, Building and Track Works for Double Line Railway in the JNPT–Vaitarana Section (Phase-2) of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor—the consortium has successfully brought together expertise, innovation, and discipline.
The scope of ISO 9001:2015 certification for Express Freight Railway Consortium covers:
“Design and Construction of Civil, Building and Track Works for Double Line Railway involving Formation in Embankments/Cuttings, Bridges, Structures (Excluding Civil Works for Bridges over Railways and Water Main, and across Creek and Ulhas River and Formations in Embankment/Cutting and Structures in their Approaches on both sides), Buildings, Ballast on Formation, Track Works (Including Track Works on Bridges over Railways and Water Main, and across Creek and Ulhas River and Formations in Embankment/Cutting and Structures in their Approaches on both sides) including Testing and Commissioning on Design-Build Lump Sum Price Basis for JNPT – Vaitarana Section of Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (Phase-2) Including Operation and Maintenance of Mobile Flash Butt Welding Plants.”
ISO 9001:2015 is not just a quality seal—it’s a structured guide to building reliable, safe, and process-oriented systems. For a high-scale infrastructure project like CTP-11, where design complexity, site safety, and coordination are paramount, this certification provides the framework to ensure that nothing is left to chance.
Whether it’s embankment formations, massive civil works, or the intricate track works across railways and waterways, ISO 9001:2015 assures all stakeholders that the project is being executed with world-class standards.
🔹 Robust Engineering Quality – Adhering to ISO standards guarantees uniform quality in construction, right from blueprints to the final welds.
🔹 Client & Stakeholder Trust – With a certified QMS in place, clients and government bodies can confidently rely on consistent delivery and reliable documentation.
🔹 Operational Excellence – Streamlined processes help reduce delays, avoid rework, and enhance overall project productivity.
🔹 Reputation & Global Alignment – This certification elevates the project’s standing on the global infrastructure stage, opening doors for international recognition and collaboration.
🔹 Team Synergy & Process Discipline – The ISO framework helps unify teams under one quality vision, building a strong internal culture of responsibility and improvement.
🔹 End-to-End Reliability – From embankments to mobile flash butt welding operations, every activity is governed by tested systems and protocols, reducing on-site risks and quality inconsistencies.
While receiving the ISO 9001:2015 certification is a proud moment, for Express Freight Railway Consortium, it’s only the beginning. The team continues to push the envelope in design innovation, field execution, and sustainable development.
The management has also expressed interest in expanding their certification footprint to other areas of quality and compliance, such as:
ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management System: Reinforcing their commitment to eco-friendly construction and sustainable development.
ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health & Safety Management System: Aiming to set even higher safety standards for all site workers and engineers.
ISO/TS 22163 – Railway Applications (IRIS): For future readiness in specialized railway systems and international railway projects.
