P. Flanigan and Son’s 3rd Annual Open House was held on May 25, 2011 at the Winchester Recycling Facility, located in Baltimore City.  Over 175 guests toured our facilities and watched as one of P. Flanigan’s paving crews demonstrated the placing of Recycled Graded Aggregate Base (GAB). In addition, representatives from NAPA, MTBMA, Morgan State University Estuarine Research Center, and the Maryland Asphalt Association attended the event.

Thank you to the attendees, PFS employees and exhibitors for a successful day!

Initially, they must win a Quality in Construction (QIC) Award, which is determined by numerical scores given by pavement engineers at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) based on how well the contractor met the specifications and achieved density on the finished pavement. All the pavements that meet a benchmark figure are given the QIC award. The year after a project wins a QIC Award, it may be considered for the Sheldon G. Hayes Award. The top-ranked projects from each year are tested for smoothness, and then visually inspected by an independent pavement consultant with many years of experience in the industry. The award was presented to us at the Annual NAPA Convention in Phoenix in January 2008.
