Peckham Road Corp. wins 2025 NAPA Quality in Construction Award

The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) has announced that Peckham Road Corporation (PRC) is a recipient of the 2025 Quality in Construction Award for excellence in asphalt pavement construction. This award projects that meet the highest standards of workmanship, performance, and quality in the asphalt pavement industry.

“The asphalt pavement industry is resolute in its dedication to delivering projects of exceptional quality and performance for the traveling public. Each project honored with a Quality in Construction Award is rigorously evaluated against the highest industry standards, reflecting an unwavering commitment to excellence,” said Pat Nelson, 2025 NAPA Chairman, in the press release.

PRC earned this national recognition for the mill and overlay of the Taconic State Parkway through the Towns of LaGrange and Pleasant Valley in Clinton Corners, New York. Partnering closely with the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the PRC team incorporated a shim course and utilized a Material Transfer Vehicle (MTV) to improve material consistency and compaction results. These efforts contributed to daily compaction bonuses and a rideability bonus on one of the region’s most challenging corridors. The project also demonstrated PRC’s commitment to sustainability. Asphalt mixes incorporated reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), conserving natural resources, reducing emissions, minimizing landfill waste, and enhancing long-term pavement performance.

Despite narrow lanes, active daytime traffic, aging concrete and subbase conditions, and the hilly, winding topography of the Taconic, PRC delivered a smooth, durable, and high-quality asphalt roadway that will serve the traveling public for years to come. This award reflects the dedication, craftsmanship, and teamwork of the entire PRC team and reinforces the company’s ongoing commitment to quality, innovation, and excellence in construction.
