摘要

Last year's modern day Ice Age buried routes across the U.S. with its frozen malice. Many public works officials had to pick through the remains of pavement during the spring and summer months of 2014. Up in Wisconsin, the glacier-like effect left an 8.1-mile portion of State Trunk Highway (STH) 22 from Gillet to Oconto Falls just as flat and smooth as Northeast Asphalt Inc. paved it a year earlier. This wasn't due to a freakish event; it was simply the result of quality construction. The $8.2 million STH 22 job narrowly missed competing for the 2013 Sheldon G. Hayes Award, the highest honor of the National Asphalt Pavement Association, which meant waiting another year for the pavement evaluators to come around and measure it against younger mats of asphalt. So as the winter of 2013-14 hammered down on the northern Wisconsin landscape, Kevin Gannon, vice president of Northeast Asphalt, sat and wondered about the toll it was going to take on the company's most recent prized possession. There were a total of 59 days when the temperature was at or below 0°F, which as it turns out had little impact on a stretch of asphalt that was way above average. Despite the meteorological test and analysis delay, Northeast Asphalt Inc. claimed the 2014 Hayes award.

Hayes奖的竞争,该奖是美国全国沥青路面协会的最高荣誉,这意味着还要等待一年的路面评估人员来评估它,并用较年轻的沥青垫层进行测量。因此,当2013-14年冬季在威斯康星州北部的土地上敲打时,Northeast Asphalt副总裁Kevin Gannon坐了下来,想知道这将对公司最近的珍贵财产造成的损失。当温度达到或低于0°F时,总共有59天,事实证明,这对一段高于平均水平的沥青几乎没有影响。尽管气象测试和分析工作有所延迟,但东北沥青公司还是获得了2014年海斯奖。
