KCI's Mid-Atlantic Region Receives ISO Certification

February 18, 2009

Sparks, MD

KCI Technologies Inc., a multi-disciplined engineering firm with offices in the Northeast, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, has achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification for its Mid-Atlantic Region, which operates in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. ISO 9001:2000 is a widely recognized international standard for quality management systems (QMS).

The certification process, which took two years to complete, entailed the development and implementation of a new QMS. Eighty percent of KCI’s operations are now ISO-certified, including the Northeast Region, which has been certified to the ISO standard since 2005. The remaining 20 percent—the Southeast Region—is targeted for certification in 2010.

“This is a major undertaking that illustrates our commitment to client satisfaction and continual improvement,” said Senior Vice President Harvey M. Floyd, KCI’s chief client services officer who led the ISO initiative. “It will make KCI a better company by instilling a corporate culture in which we continuously evaluate and improve our business practices in order to consistently deliver quality services to our clients.”

The company pursued ISO certification in order to make every employee and business unit throughout the organization accountable to a QMS that meets this rigorous international standard. The certification applies to services in the areas of site and facilities engineering, transportation engineering, natural resources, construction management and inspection, environmental engineering, utilities, GIS, surveys, planning, and diving and marine engineering.

KCI is one of a small number of ISO-certified engineering firms in the U.S.

KCI is an engineering, consulting and construction firm serving clients throughout the U.S. and beyond. With revenues of approximately $124 million in 2010, KCI is ranked 82 on the Engineering News-Record's list of the top 500 engineering firms in the country. Roughly 850 KCI employee owners provide environmental, transportation, telecommunications, construction, facilities, and land development services from more than 20 locations.
