Granite is dedicated to developing the next generation of construction professionals. One way we support future construction professionals is by providing interested students with opportunities to visit our job sites to get a better sense of a career in construction. As part of this effort, we recently hosted students from the Aptos High School CTE (Career Technical Education) Construction Pathways Program at our Highway 1 pedestrian overcrossing project in Santa Cruz, California. The larger CTE program is the result of an effort by the local school district to reinvent and revitalize its career readiness program and is designed to give students hands-on experience in construction. The goal is to support the transition into in-demand, well-paying construction careers. Students in the program acquire valuable skills such as time management, civic engagement, safety, sustainability, and teamwork. Nineteen students joined us on February 23, 2024. The Highway 1 pedestrian overcrossing is one portion of the reconstruction of the Highway 1 corridor between Santa Cruz and Capitola. The attending students experienced the scale of the $72 million project and a close-up look at one of the key features: a new pedestrian/bicycle bridge that will support alternative mobility in the region. Several Granite, Union, and subcontractor representatives spoke to the students about the project and the industry. The unifying theme of the speakers was the sense of pride derived from being part o
Granite (NYSE:GVA) has been awarded a contract worth approximately $55 million by the City of Tucson to widen Grant Road from Palo Verde to Venice. Project funding will come from the Regional Transportation Authority and is expected to be included in Granite’s first quarter CAP. The project involves widening Grant Road to provide six through lanes and a median with left turn lane pockets. It also includes new curbs, sidewalks, landscaping, traffic signals, streetlights, detention pond, water main replacement, sewer main additions, cross roadway box culverts & storm drains, and a large 96" diameter culvert for storm runoff mitigation. Granite will utilize its nearby Swan Plant facility to provide 36,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt (HMA), 40,000 tons of aggregate base course, and 32,500 tons of storm/water/sewer bedding and shading sand. “This multi-phase project will require continuous communication and outreach with the traveling public, local businesses, and residents throughout the project,” said Todd Hill, Granite Vice President of Regional Operations. “In addition to serving as an anchor project to the Arizona region and local workforce, the project also compliments our vertically integrated business with a need for aggregates and asphalt on the project.” The project is anticipated to begin in April 2024 and is expected to be completed by December 2026.
Granite (NYSE:GVA) announced the successful completion of its first fully automated aggregate plant in Tucson, Arizona, marking a milestone in the company's commitment to technological advancement and sustainable production practices. Construction of the Swan Facility commenced in May 2023 and represents Granite’s dedication to leveraging technology to improve operations and overcome workforce challenges. By incorporating automation, Granite can produce aggregates cost-effectively while minimizing the need for night and weekend shifts associated with peak demands. The enhanced production capabilities and operational flexibility afforded by the automated technology position Granite as an industry leader, ready to meet the evolving demands of the market. "This significant investment underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation within the materials industry," said Brad Estes, Granite Senior Vice President of Materials. "The fully automated wash plant not only addresses current workforce challenges, but also positions us for sustained growth in one of our long-term aggregate markets. We are excited to unveil this state-of-the-art facility and further solidify our position as an aggregate producer." As Granite strives for excellence in materials production, it looks forward to the Swan Plant’s positive impact on its operations, employees, and the communities it serves.
