The ACPA Excellence in Concrete Pavements Awards are made possible, in large measure, because of the generous time commitment of independent judges from across the country. The judges each spend many hours reviewing executive summaries, project details, photographs, and other details and aspects of project submittals.Ā ACPA presents awards in both gold and silver levels. Judging is based on a point system, with independent judges awarding points for quality construction, addressing unique and unusual challenges, innovation, traffic management, and other criteria. In the case of ties, award judges present awards to co-winners.

For publications looking for case histories throughout the year, ACPAĀ encourages concrete pavementĀ companies, organizations and associationsĀ to consider these award-winning projects!
