Granite is the recipient of three Diamond Paving Commendations,
seven 2020 Diamond Achievement Commendations, 27 Diamond
Achievement Sustainable Commendations, and 31 Diamond Quality
Commendations from the National Asphalt Pavement Association
(NAPA). All commendations are part of the Diamond Commendation
Program, a nationally recognized program that outlines best
practices for asphalt plant operations, asphalt production, paving,
and asphalt terminal operations. The award recipients were
recognized at NAPA’s virtual 66th annual meeting.
Designed to recognize exceptional paving crews, the Diamond
Paving Commendation is based on the training of supervisors and
crew members, use of best practices in paving, and compliance.
The Diamond Achievement Commendation emphasizes continuous
improvement and covers operations in a manufacturing plant and
around a plant’s site. Factors include its appearance, operations,
environmental practices, safety, permitting and regulatory
compliance, and community relations.
Areas evaluated for the Diamond Quality Commendation are grading
quality management, recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and aggregate
handling, asphalt storage, drying and mixing, air quality, truck
scales, silos, and control rooms.
“This recognition from NAPA means a lot to us,” said Brad Estes,
Granite vice president of construction materials. “Our teams work
hard to ensure we are following best practices in order to provide
the best value for our customers.”
The Diamond Achievement Sustainable Commendation is an expanded
level of the Diamond Achievement Commendation which evaluates the
social, economic, and environmental efforts of an asphalt facility
and how it puts sustainability and community engagement principles
into action.
“We are proud that our efforts in environmental stewardship are
being recognized,” commented Raven Adams, Granite sustainability
specialist. “We are always seeking new and innovative ways to use
products, processes, and methodologies that save energy, conserve
natural resources, and accomplish more with fewer environmental
impacts.”
