Each year, the Missouri Asphalt Pavement Association (MAPA) honors Missouri’s top asphalt paving projects and the companies that performed them. Projects compete in nine specialized categories, ranging from Airports to Full Depth Paving. According to MAPA, submissions are evaluated using the following criteria: “smoothness, longitudinal joints, segregation, degree of difficulty, innovative practices, uniqueness of the project, and overall quality.” Herzog Contracting Corp. earned the following three awards for 2018:

“We are very pleased with the Quality Paving Awards Herzog received this year,” expressed Kyle Phillips, Vice President of Civil Construction at Herzog Contracting Corp. “MAPA’s recognition of these awarded simply underscores the focus we place on workmanship and quality here at Herzog. We are very proud of the employees that share our vision and make these successful projects happen every day.”
