Paving Projects Given Awards for Excellence
Fifteen concrete-paving projects built in 1984 have been recognized with awards for engineering excellence in the concrete industry’s 11th annual Paving Awards Program.
Plaques were presented to owners of the projects, design consultants and the contractors at a luncheon sponsored jointly by the Southern California Ready Mixed Concrete Assn. and the Portland Cement Assn.’s Pacific Southwest Region.
The awards were given for three street projects, two intersections, seven parking areas and three decorative-concrete projects. A special award also was given to contractor Cleo McConnell of Pacoima for his volunteer work in building two church parking lots in the San Fernando Valley.
