Winning six out of seven statewide construction awards (and, in reality, sweeping all seven when you consider project engineer involvement, too) is no small feat.

WTBA member companies proudly accomplished that Thursday at the Contractor-Engineer Conference’s Awards Dinner, notching wins for best asphalt paving, grading, small structure, large structure, large contract, and airports.

Winning WTBA members included Northeast Asphalt, Mashuda, Sheet Piling Services, Zenith Tech, Zignego, DAAR, Mead & Hunt, Gremmer & Associates, and CORRE.

A WisDOT committee considers submissions from the five regions and votes on winners.  WTBA extends a hearty congratulations to its members for their great accomplishments!
