INDOT Awards Outstanding Asphalt Producers

Local company awarded for providing superior materials to build state highways

LAPORTE, IN - When motorists encounter an especially smooth ride on Hoosier highways, there's a good chance the asphalt was produced by an award-winning Indiana company.  Earlier this month, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) recognized E&B Paving, Inc. of Kewanna, Indiana as the LaPorte District's Outstanding Hot Mix Asphalt Producer for the 2007 construction season. 

The Indiana Certified Hot Mix Asphalt program allows producers to take responsibility for all aspects of asphalt production.  Certified producers follow a Quality Control Plan and the production, sampling and testing procedures outlined in the plan are carefully monitored by INDOT.  The Certified Hot Mix Asphalt program saves the state time and money by reducing the amount of material testing done at project sites while maintaining superior quality control.  Since the Certified Hot Mix Asphalt program began in 1996, 101 plants have become Certified Producers for Hot Mix Asphalt.

E&B Paving received the award because the company demonstrated outstanding cooperation with INDOT, underwent audits in 2007 and established a commitment to quality by going above and beyond the minimum requirements of the program.
