At a time when safety issues challenge project managers, operators, communities and users, we are enriching the value of the POMA Group’s offer, capitalizing on our decades of experience and backed by a solid logic of continuous improvement.
In addition to unique know-how in the maintenance of strategic parts of the cable transport system, we have now achieved the highest level of overall site control:
- • We analyze and take into account environmental issues, material and human risks in natural and urban environments
- • Our ranges and intervention procedures are pre-defined and constantly improved
- • We systematically draft and apply prevention plans regardless of the operation
Beyond the strictest respect for French and European standards, we deploy our processes throughout the world, with teams of business experts, also knowing how to interface with local partners to maintain a maximum level of quality. Our vision: to continue to be the world reference for construction sites in hostile or demanding environments!
