Jack B. Parson Companies Wins National Environmental Awards For Ready Mixed Concrete Plant

Las Vegas, NV – The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) has announced that Jack B. Parson Companies is the winner of two national Environmental Excellence Awards for its West Haven, UT and Salt Lake City, UT (California Avenue) ready mixed concrete plants. The awards were presented at NRMCA’s annual convention held in conjunction with the CONEXPO/CON AGG construction exposition.

NRMCA’s Environmental Excellence competition recognizes ready-mixed concrete producers for outstanding contributions to protecting the environment and maintaining sound management practice in their operations. In its tenth year, the program salutes companies that have not only met, but also surpassed governmental compliance measures and demonstrated a commitment to environmental excellence through innovative management practices, plant operations, maintenance, and staff investment.
Commenting on the award, Scott Parson, Vice President, said: “Since my grandfather started our company in 1952, we have always tried to go above and beyond what’s normally considered appropriate for a ready mix producer.

It is our goal to be Utah’s Preferred Source for construction materials and services and we are committed to achieve that goal. We are honored to receive recognition from the NRMCA and our industry.”

“The Environmental Excellence Award is presented to operators who have best demonstrated environmental excellence and innovative management,” added NRMCA President Robert Garbini. “Jack B Parson Companies has met these standards and we are pleased to honor them with this award.”

A panel consisting of regulatory officials, industry and environmental consultants judges the entries on a written narrative covering 10 criteria.

Judges also depend heavily on photographs of plants to complete their evaluations. Any member company of NRMCA in good standing, producing ready mixed concrete from a fixed plant location in the United States, its territories, or Canada is eligible for the award. NRMCA currently has 1550 members.
