Six Wisconsin construction companies received DTSD Excellence in Construction Awards at the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s (WisDOT) annual Contractor-Engineer Conference held this week in Wisconsin Dells.
Top winners include an asphalt paving project in Winnebago County, a concrete paving project in Rock County, a grading project in Dane County, a small bridge project in Pierce County, a large bridge project in Clark County and a large contract project in Milwaukee County.
“The Excellence in Construction Awards highlight the dedication and expertise behind projects that strengthen Wisconsin’s transportation system,” WisDOT Secretary Kristina Boardman said. “For the past seven years in the Evers Administration, we’ve been empowered to make strategic investments in transportation in every county in Wisconsin. With more than 450 projects last year, we’re proudly improving our roads and bridges to help people travel safely, stay connected and enjoy a better quality of life statewide.”
“These awards recognize the teamwork and innovation that go into delivering high-quality transportation projects,” Brandon Lamers, director of WisDOT’s Bureau of Project Development, said. “Because of our teams and the extensive collaboration with industry partners, we can build safer infrastructure and stronger communities throughout Wisconsin.”
- Excellence in Concrete Paving – Trierweiler Construction, based in Marshfield, received the award for work on US 51 (Center Avenue), from Nicolet Street to Court Street in Janesville, in Rock County. This project fully reconstructed just over a mile of the heavily traveled corridor with more than 120 residential and business properties adjacent to the highway. Throughout the project, the concrete paving contractor leveraged effective technologies like stringless slipform paving and GPS-guided joint layout to streamline paving operations and help make the project a success.
