SECOND HMA HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE ANNOUNCED

The Iowa HMA Hall of Fame represents our association’s highest honor to be bestowed upon any one individual.  After soliciting nominations from the association’s members, the APAI Board of Directors named Mr. Robert Nady as the 2004 inductee. 

Mr. Nady earned his BS in Civil Engineering at Iowa State University in 1949 and his MS in Highway Engineering in 1952 with a thesis on Hot Mix Asphalt.  This man instructed many of Iowa ’s senior engineers as he taught in the BSCE program from 1952 until 1960 and in the Construction Technology program until 1973 at ISU.  Even some of the younger engineers were taught by him, when he was called back to ISU in 1996 to teach HMA and materials in the Civil Engineering Department through the Spring of 2002.

Known throughout the world, Mr. Nady has worked for various engineering firms worldwide from India to Haiti to Kuwait to Saudi Arabia and Turkey .  In 1957 he founded his own testing service, Nady Engineering, which he subsequently sold to Construction Materials Testing in 2001.

Mr. Robert Nady is certainly a pillar of the Iowa asphalt community. Our 2004 inductee to the Hot Mix Asphalt Hall of Fame is.  Bob continues to be active not only as a consultant to Construction Materials Testing, but he also offers advise to the APAI staff, as well as writing notes for the Asphalt Report (see HMA Notes).

We offer our sincerest congratulations to Mr. Robert Nady for this honor bestowed upon him.
