Awards Programs

About The Awards

The Texas Asphalt Pavement Association annually recognizes quality-built hot mix asphalt pavements and honors excellence in production, placement, and quality assurance through its awards programs: the TxDOT-TXAPA Quality Asphalt Pavement Awards, and the TXAPA Quality Asphalt Pavement Awards. The awards are presented during the TXAPA Annual Meeting in September at a special awards luncheon attended by the membership, TxDOT, and the men and women responsible for building the winning projects. It is a challenging task for the committee chairs who manage these two programs. Glen Dvorak, Hunter Industries, Ltd. (TxDOT-TXAPA Awards) and Robert Lee, CRH Americas (TXAPA Awards), organize and carry out the process of evaluating the nominated projects, notifying the winners, and ensuring they receive the recognition they deserve. An all-volunteer group evaluates nominated projects across the vast state of Texas. These evaluators sometimes travel hundreds of miles daily to ride on, photograph and document the best of the best in asphalt paving. TXAPA owes a deep debt of gratitude to both committee chairs, our TxDOT partners in quality, and our evaluators who give their time and resources to make these awards programs possible.
