55th ANNUAL CONCRETE PAVING WORKSHOP RECAP

Concrete Paving Workshop at the Holiday Inn

The ICPA Board of Directors kicked off the 3-day workshop with the election of Brian Manatt, President of Manatt’s, Inc., as their 2019 Chairman during the first day of the Workshop.

​The Concrete Paving Awards Luncheon, which highlights the “best of the best” concrete paving projects within the state of Iowa began with two special awards given to Palo Alto County and Washington County in recognition of their 200th mile of paved concrete. They become the 5th and 6th counties in Iowa to achieve this momentous milestone. The luncheon continued with the recognition of 75 projects nominated for the 2018 Concrete Paving Awards. The ICPA and the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) jointly evaluated and recognized projects as the best concrete pavements built in 2018. Plaques were presented in 19 categories to personnel from the companies dedicated to the winning projects.
