Winning a roadbuilding contract often comes down to who has the lowest bid. But achieving the kind of quality, innovation and ingenuity it takes to become an industry standout requires much more than the ability to shave costs. In speaking with some of the winners of the 2019 Excellence in Concrete Pavements Awards, we found some common qualities contractors brought to their projects that made them worthy of national recognition.
