One of the inherent advantages of asphalt pavement is its smooth riding surface which has long been recognized as a major factor in evaluating quality construction.  As a result, the Asphalt Paving Association of Iowa in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Transportation pay special tribute to those contractors who produce the smoothest, highest quality asphalt pavements.  It is this partnering effort of industry and agency that assures the quality of Hot Mix Asphalt remains at its highest.

Operating a hot-mix asphalt plant can be difficult to do no matter where you're located.  Running one that does not disrupt the delicate environmental balance around your facility is even tougher.  This award pays special tribute to the one plant that best exemplifies the APAI's desire for safe environmental practices.
