Five Cadillac Asphalt Projects Win NAPA Awards

Five paving jobs performed by Cadillac Asphalt Crews throughout 2021 have received awards from the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA). NAPA’s Quality in Construction awards recognizes a crew’s commitment to building high-quality, smooth, durable pavement for the driving public. 

The award-winning projects were Maple Road in Ann Arbor, Schaefer Road in Dearborn, Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, Grafton Road in Monroe, and the General Motors Proving Ground Milford Road Course in Milford. Crews will receive a plaque for their achievements, recognition in the NAPA Awards Brochure to be distributed at the annual Quality in Construction Awards Breakfast, and will have a chance to take a photo with NAPA Chairman Jay Winford. 

“The asphalt pavement industry is committed to building high-quality projects that deliver superior performance to the traveling public. All contractors' projects earning a Quality in Construction award are measured against best practices designed to live up to that commitment,” said Winford. 

The Grafton Road project will also receive a Larry Lemon Award. The Larry Lemon Award goes to the 10 highest-scoring projects submitted for Quality in Construction Awards in the General Paving category.

December 01, 2021New Women's Employee Resource Group

New Women's Employee Resource Group

Michigan Paving & Materials, Stoneco of Michigan, and Cadillac Asphalt are teaming up to form a Women’s Employee Resource Group. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups that allow members to network with and support each other. They are designed to encourage an inclusive workplace, increase employee engagement, and help develop future leaders. Members of the group join based on shared characteristics and life experiences; in the case of this group, that is aimed at women in construction. This new Women’s ERG seeks to increase communication and the easy sharing of relevant resources between the women of MPM, Stoneco, and Cadillac. The official launch and first events will take place in early 2022.

2021 Summer Interns

Summer 2021 saw the return of One Michigan’s Intern Program. The program has students temporarily join the teams of Michigan Paving & Materials, Stoneco of Michigan, and Cadillac Asphalt in a variety of roles.

The One Michigan Intern Program has existed for more than 20 years. This year’s team consisted of Taylor Dixon, MPM Construction Intern; Blake Wolf, Stoneco Credit & Collections Intern; Michael Vogt, Cadillac Construction Safety Intern; Jacob Staley, Cadillac Construction Intern; Rhiannon Lord, Cadillac HMA Operations Intern; and William Guzman, Stoneco Mine Engineering Intern.

The Interns spend May through August shadowing other employees and taking part in projects of all sizes. Many interns find full employment with Michigan Paving, Stoneco, or Cadillac after their internship ends.

On July 16, took part in a special Intern Bonding Day, where they all got together to go play Whirly Ball. On August 17, a luncheon was held where the interns shared their experiences with the One Michigan Management Team.

If you or someone you know is interested in signing up for an internship with one of our companies, keep an eye out for next year’s postings on our websites this November!

**All safety precautions within the company and CDC guidelines were in place during the program and during the bonding day.  

August 09, 2021Teaming Up To Encourage Careers In Construction With Detroit Workforce Development Program!

Teaming Up To Encourage Careers In Construction With Detroit Workforce Development Program!

 

Again within our One Michigan companies, we took part in the 2021 Detroit Workforce of the Future program. Through this program, put on by Michigan Construction and a number of partner companies, unions, and educational organizations, brings more than a dozen students on-site to asphalt plants, quarries, and road construction sites to learn about a potential career in construction.

The Detroit Workforce of the Future development program is a thirteen-week training program that introduces students of Cody, Osborn, Pershing, and Randolph High Schools who want to find work immediately out of school. The first half take place in the spring, while the summer portion makes up the final 6 weeks. Through this program, the students try out and observe different construction jobs, and potentially find permanent employment with the companies they shadow.

Cadillac Asphalt first partnered with Michigan Construction for the program’s pilot in 2017, under the leadership of Doug Needham of the Michigan Aggregates Association and Ken Bertolini, Director of Workforce Development for the Michigan Infrastructure & Transportation Association (MITA). The initial class included 8 students who took part in hands-on construction and project management training, as well as taking field trips to construction crews and plants. In the following years, contractors and representatives from Operating Engineers 324 and the Laborers Union joined the program, which expanded to multiple partner schools in the Detroit Metro Area.

Today, teachers and faculty nominate students from local partnering high schools to interview for the program. These students are selected based on their interests and fit for the program. Cadillac Asphalt’s sister company, Stoneco of Michigan, has also joined the program as part of a commitment to support the MITA workforce development team, as well as to attract future talent.

 

On July 13th, students attended a discussion given by Pat Anglin, a Risk Manager for Michigan Paving & Materials, Stoneco, and Cadillac Asphalt, and a representative from Dan’s excavating, who spoke about their respective organizations, projects, and job opportunities. Students asked questions to both representatives, about company size, projected growth, hours, and benefits offered within the industry. The following day, the participants learned about the OE training program and instructed on how to operate various pieces of equipment such as cranes, loaders, pavers, and rollers. In the coming weeks, students will visit a Stoneco quarry to learn about the mining process, and a quality control lab to learn about the tasks performed there.

On August 9, the students visited Stoneco’s Ottawa Lake Quarry to learn about the quarry process. They took a guided tour, watched a rock demonstration while eating a catered lunch, and participated in a Q&A with some of the quarry employees. They also visited the Quality Control lab to learn about the QC process.

The program wrapped up on August 12 with a Graduation Day. The 19 students of Cohort 5 received tool bad, which included hammers, gloves, safety goggles, face coverings, shirts, and hats donated by Cadillac Asphalt and Stoneco. We as a team in Michigan value the support and involvement with our youth to educate them on the construction industry and be a part of their future in any ways that we can! Good luck to all the students as they start to look to their future for careers! 

August 01, 2021Jeff Parker Shaves for the Brave

Jeff Parker Shaves for the Brave

Jeff Parker, a Loader Operator for Cadillac Asphalt Rawsonville, continued a 3rd-year long tradition in 2021, participating in St Baldrick’s Shave for the Brave event.

“I started doing this event three years ago when asked by an old high school friend. It was a great way to support and raise money for a great cause for those that are affected by cancer! Overall, in three years, with family, friends, coworkers, and our company we have raised over $15,700!!” 

St Baldrick’s Foundation began in 1999, and has grown over the past 22 years to host hundreds of head-shaving events each year to raise money to fight childhood cancer. The idea was created by insurance brokers Tim Kenny, John Bender, and Enda McDonnel. Their first event, held on St Patrick’s Day in 2000, saw 19 heads shaved and $104,000 raised to fight childhood cancer. 

About 1 in 285 children in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer before they turn 20. More children are lost to cancer than any other disease in the United States, but research like that funded by St Baldrick’s and other organizations has helped cut the mortality rate for children drastically in the last few decades. 

Jeff Parker set a $5,000 goal with the promise that if he met his goal by July 22, he would dye his hair rainbow for the week before the shave. As you can see in the pictures, he more than met his goal in time. Overall, Jeff beat his goal and raised $6,384 with his shave!

August 20, 2020Cadillac Asphalt Participates In Monroe County 4-H Virtual Auction

Cadillac Asphalt Participates In Monroe County 4-H Virtual Auction

Our company makes it a point to support local 4-H groups every year. While this year looked a lot different due to the coronavirus, we were still able to take part in a virtual version of the Monroe 4H County Fair Auction. 

This year, 4H groups around Michigan held virtual auctions online, using fairentry.com and with the help of Michigan State University. These auctions stayed open for a few days, so interested parties could browse the children’s entries and place a bid. Cadillac Asphalt always donates the meat from any animals it purchases to local food pantries. 

This year, we won a bid on two pigs and were able to donate their meat to Saline Social Services.

July 25, 2020Cadillac Asphalt Sponsors Dave Fons Memorial Fund Golf Tournament

Cadillac Asphalt Sponsors Dave Fons Memorial Fund Golf Tournament

This July, Cadillac Asphalt served as a Food and Drink Sponsor for the Third Annual Dave Fons Memorial Fund Golf Outing. The golf outing was held on Saturday the 25th at Dunham Hills Golf Club in Hartland, Michigan. 

The Dave Fons Memorial Fund was established after the death of Dave Fons, a small business owner with a passion for earthmoving and road construction. In 2014, he was hit by a dump truck that failed to yield at a red light. 

The Memorial Fund now seeks to promote and encourage truck safety and awareness of safety in road construction. These are also Cadillac Asphalt’s passions and we have sought to work with and support the fund’s advocacy.   

May 01, 2020Cadillac Cares: Employee Makes 100 Cloth Masks to Fight Coronavirus

Cadillac Cares: Employee Makes 100 Cloth Masks to Fight Coronavirus

As the novel coronavirus, Covid19, continues to spread worldwide, the CDC has put out multiple recommendations for how to stay healthy. Handwashing, social distancing, and the wearing of cloth masks have all been suggested as ways to keep yourself and others healthy.   

Cadillac Asphalt Office administrator, Kelly Jager, took the CDC recommendations to heart. Kelly has worked for Cadillac Asphalt since November 2013, but she’s been a crafter since she was a teenager, and sewing has been a lifelong hobby. She and her sister started researching mask patterns to make for their own families when they heard that the virus had spread to Michigan and surrounding states. 

Kelly’s daughter-in-law, Jamie, works for Ascension Healthcare in Southeast Michigan. “My son called me the week of March 13 and said that masks were scarce and asked if I would be interested in making some for Jamie to take into work,” Jager said. “I started making masks that weekend and have been making them every weekend since.”  

Kelly’s other daughter-in-law, Alexa, also works in the medical field, with the Royal Oak Beaumont health system. Alexa was pulled from her normal work on the transplant team in late March to work on the Covid19 floors of her hospital.  

“She’s our family’s hero,” Jager said. Over the course of two weekends in late March and early April, Jager sewed more than 100 masks that she donated to Ascension Healthcare and Beaumont Hospital of Royal Oak. She’s continued to make masks and ear savers for medical professionals, some of which have been sent to ER, ICU, and Covid19 wards in New York City hospitals, which have been heavily hit by the novel coronavirus.   

While cloth masks are not 100% effective against the spread of coronavirus, their use limits the spray of germ-carrying saliva when speaking and breathing and can also help extend the life of medical-grade masks when worn overtop of them, keeping the outer surface clean.  

Word of her donations has spread; Kelly has received multiple thank you messages for her work, from the Brown City police department, fire department, and post office, as well as Marlette’s fire department. She also continues to get requests for more masks. 

Kelly Jager plans to continue making and donating masks, but materials are beginning to become scarce. Elastic has been particularly hard to come by, but she and her sister have been managing. 

“This is the least I can do,” Jager said.
