Sunshine State Awards Good Work

Asphalt Contractors Association of Florida (ACAF) announced the 2018 winners of its annual Excellence in Pavement Awards in Florida, at the annual awards banquet June 16. The award winners are selected for their outstanding quality in asphalt paving. ACAF was founded in 1957 to represent the asphalt industry in Florida and has been recognizing companies for decades with these awards.

“Florida’s asphalt pavement industry is committed to building quality pavements that deliver high performance and drivability to the public,” 2018 ACAF President Dan Weekley said. “It’s our mission to improve the quality of asphalt and expand its use. We accomplish that by continuing to promote safety, quality construction, employee improvement, and by working with our customers to provide the best product for their needs.”

These winning awards are selected from member companies that have submitted projects completed by the first of the current year. Asphalt is the primary form of highway pavement in Florida.
