Granite (NYSE:GVA) has received a total of 97 awards and
commendations from the National Asphalt Pavement Association
(NAPA), recognizing the company’s plant operations, paving
operations, and adherence to best practices across the following
seven states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Mississippi, Nevada,
Utah, and Washington state. Within this list of recognition, newly
acquired Lehman-Roberts received five awards. The following awards
were presented at NAPA’s 69th annual meeting in Orlando,
Florida.
The Larry H. Lemon Quality in Construction Award -
Unnamed Tributary to Carpenter Creek Fish Passage.
The prestigious Larry H. Lemon Quality in Construction Award
recognizes the 10 highest-scoring projects of the 223 applications
submitted for a Quality in Construction Award in the General Paving
(less than 50,000 tons) category. The award is named after Larry
Lemon of Haskell Lemon Construction in Oklahoma City. Lemon spent
18 years on the NAPA Awards Committee, later serving as chairman of
the association's board of directors in 2010. He was instrumental
in creating the rating system for the Quality in Construction
Awards, which requires qualitative analysis using data and test
results to determine the winners.
“Securing the Larry H. Lemon Quality in Construction Award for
our Unnamed Tributary to Carpenter Creek Fish Passage project
underscores the remarkable effort and value our teams consistently
deliver to our clients,” said Mike Stein, Granite VP of Regional
Operations. “This recognition is a testament to the high-quality
work they produce.”
Community Involvement Award
The Community Involvement Award recognizes companies with
well-rounded community relations programs.
This is the second year in a row that newly acquired
Lehman-Roberts, a Granite company, won the award for their
Community Engagement program, which demonstrates the company’s
commitment to their mission: "Helping communities where we live and
work to thrive." The company and all its employees donate their
construction talent, time, labor, and resources to help their
neighbors and build the capacity of non-profits working to improve
their neighborhoods, cities, and regions.
Diamond Commendations
Granite was awarded 64 Diamond Commendations, a nationally
recognized effort to document and promote best practices for
asphalt plant operations, terminal operations, asphalt production,
and paving. Diamond Achievement Commendation covers operations in
the manufacturing plant and around the plant site. Aspects
addressed include appearance, operations, environmental practices,
safety, permitting and regulatory compliance, and community
relations. The Diamond Achievement Sustainable Commendation
assesses the social, economic, and environmental efforts of an
asphalt production facility to gauge how well it puts the
principles of sustainability and community engagement into action.
The Diamond Quality Commendation evaluates quality management, RAP
and aggregate handling, asphalt storage, drying and mixing, air
quality, truck scales, silos, and control room. The Paving
Commendations recognize extraordinary paving crews, while the
Diamond Quality Commendations recognize excellence in site
operations.
Quality in Construction (QIC) Awards
Granite’s asphalt paving projects won 32 awards. These awards
recognize excellence in three categories of projects: those under
50,000 tons of asphalt, those over 50,000 tons, and airport
pavement projects. “It is an honor to have so many of our paving
projects recognized by NAPA,” said Granite Director of Materials
Quality and NAPA technical committee member Marty McNamara. “Our
teams are focused on excellence in project execution, and it is
gratifying to see our hard work acknowledged.”
