Granite Receives 68 Diamond Commendations From NAPA<\/b><\/p>\n

WATSONVILLE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nGranite 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)<\/a>. 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\u2019s virtual 66th annual meeting.\n<\/p>\n

\nDesigned 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.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Diamond Achievement Commendation emphasizes continuous improvement and covers operations in a manufacturing plant and around a plant\u2019s site. Factors include its appearance, operations, environmental practices, safety, permitting and regulatory compliance, and community relations.\n<\/p>\n

\nAreas 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.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis recognition from NAPA means a lot to us,\u201d said Brad Estes, Granite vice president of construction materials. \u201cOur teams work hard to ensure we are following best practices in order to provide the best value for our customers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThe 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.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are proud that our efforts in environmental stewardship are being recognized,\u201d commented Raven Adams, Granite sustainability specialist. \u201cWe 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.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
