NAPA Recognizes Granite Construction With 97 Awards and Commendations - Seite 2

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.”
