Environmental Statement of Continual Improvement 2009/10

Nature and Scale of organisation’s activities

In September 2003, Teddington Engineered Solutions Ltd. successfully purchased the business of Brockington and Scott Ltd., so although we are a relatively new company, the business has been around since 1927 and the name is synonymous with exceptional quality, supreme reliability and total design flexibility, which places Teddington at the forefront of Bellows and Expansion Joint manufacture.

In addition to our extensive range of metallic and non-metallic bellows and expansion joints, we also offer an array of specialist services, including:

NDT services, either at our facility or on-site;
Fabrication services, offering a full range of welding techniques, in-house machining and testing; and
Design services from our expert engineers.

Environmental priorities, objectives and targets 2008/9

Our current objectives and targets for 2009/10 have been prioritised as follows:

To reduce our energy consumption by 3% for every kWh energy / unit of production.
To reduce the number of water pollution incidents per year.
To reduce the quantity of general waste going to landfill by 3% per month tonnage by recycling and segregating plastics and paper waste.
To reduce the environmental impact from contractors and suppliers by introducing induction training, purchasing policies and awareness sessions / material.
