While 2009 may have been a down year for the construction industry overall, individual efforts showcased in entries for the 2009 Concrete Pavement Awards — Decorative and Durable Designs program reflect resilience, exacting effort, and unflagging creativity. Cosponsored by Concrete Products, Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute, and the American Society for Concrete Contractors' Decorative Concrete Council, the competition recognizes outstanding achievement in a range of applications excluding highway work. To that end, judges weigh each project's design, craftsmanship, and site suitability to select winners in five categories: Precast and Cast-in-Place for Residential and Commercial projects, plus Specialty. Featured this month are winning and honorable mention cast-in-place projects to be followed by precast category winners in March.
