The Shelly Company walked away with close to 40 awards recognizing highest-quality asphalt pavement and asphalt facilities at NAPA’s annual meeting in Boca Raton, Fla., on Feb. 5.
“It was a very proud moment for The Shelly Company and Oldcastle Materials. Quality is one of Shelly’s three core values and critical to our long-term success, said Ty Nofziger, Shelly Company president. It takes commitment on all levels to be this successful at the national level. Congratulations are well deserved to all of our team members involved. The Shelly Company sets the highest-standards when it comes to quality paving, and continues to make us the industry leader that we are!”
The Shelly Co., which won the 2012 Sheldon G. Hayes Award for its milling and overlay work on I-70, was a finalist for the 2013 award as well. The finalist project was a major resurfacing of I-76 in Portage County. The $7.2 million project involved bridge overlays, drainage work, and milling and resurfacing of two rest areas.
Two milling crews removed and recycled 30,000 tons of asphalt, and two paving crews placed 68,000 tons of new asphalt. The crews earned 94 percent ($106,000) of a potential $112,500 smoothness initiative for the project.
“We are extremely proud to have been nominated for this award,” said Steve Conklin, vice president and general manager of The Shelly Co.’s Northeast Division. “The exceptional work by our employees who bid, produce, test and build high-quality projects year after year is nothing new, but receiving national recognition supports their efforts and dedication to our industry.”
