AWARDS

ACPA and UDOT Present Staker Parson Companies with Multiple Excellence in Paving Awards

The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) and Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) presented Staker Parson Companies with four Excellence in Paving awards for projects completed in 2009 at the Ninth Annual Concrete Pavement Workshop in Salt Lake City on Jan. 20, 2010. The project owner, design engineer and ready-mix supplier were recognized at the conference for the winning projects.

Jack B. Parson Companies, the concrete division of Staker Parson Companies, received three awards for the concrete supplied for the following projects: Street Replacement/Repairs, Salt Lake City; Utah State Government Multi-Agency Building, Salt Lake City; and Lost Creek Road, Morgan County. The Lost Creek Road project is one of the first concrete-paved county roads in Utah.

Staker Parson Companies was nominated by UDOT for its work as the general contractor for the US-89 – 200 North Kaysville to Sunset Drive Truck Lane concrete pavement overlay project, which is the first of its kind for Staker Parson. UDOT chose to overlay the southbound truck-lane with concrete in anticipation that the surface will be more durable.

Paving at night helped crews complete the project ahead of schedule.

"We are honored to be recognized for our efforts on these projects," said Scott Parson, president and CEO of Staker Parson Companies. "We strive to be The Preferred Source by building quality, service and innovation into every project with which we are involved as a materials supplier or contractor."

The ACPA awards are designed not only to honor quality concrete pavements, but also to encourage exceptional workmanship and provide a resource for contractors to share information and resources. Winning projects are determined by an independent panel of judges.
