Entries Open for 2016 Pavement Awards
Earlier this year at National Pavement Expo in Nashville Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction announced the recipients of the magazine’s first annual Pavement Awards – and entries are now being accepted for the 2016 awards, according to Amy Schwandt, publisher.
“The awards were very well received and we had great participation from contractors,” Schwandt said. “We feel it’s an honor for us to be able to publicly recognize some of the companies for some of the outstanding work they do and to honor individuals for their support of the industry.”
Schwandt said the 2016 Pavement Awards will be announced at the 2016 National Pavement Expo, Jan. 27-30 in Charlotte.
Nominations are open for all awards, and the deadline for submitting entries is October 1. In most cases contractors can nominate themselves and their own work; manufacturers, producers and suppliers can nominate contractors as well. Final award determinations will be made by the Pavement staff in consultation with the Pavement Advisory Board.
