Quality Pavement Awards

The APAI Quality Pavement Awards recognize asphalt pavements of excellence. Contractors may submit non-INDOT projects in the following eight categories: New Construction >2,000 tons, Non-Governmental New Construction, Non-Governmental Reconstruction, Reconstruction County, Reconstruction City, Governmental, Aviation, and Sports/Recreational Surfaces. The projects, which must have been completed in the calendar year of submittal, are judged by APAI staff and reviewed by a member panel for final selection. Judging criteria includes workmanship, quality of longitudinal and transverse joints, handwork, difficulty of construction, and final appearance. Submittals are due in October and awards are announced annually at the Winter Conference and Expo.
