Industry pioneers delivering award-winning civil construction services
Craig & Heidt is a trusted civil construction partner for a diverse range of clients in Southeast Texas, including Texas DOT, ExxonMobil, LyondellBasell, Marathon Petroleum, Performance Contractors, Zachry Group, S&B Engineers and Constructors and Harper Brothers Construction. With established Master Service Agreements and prequalification in place with these and many other clients, the company’s work scope encompasses earthwork, drainage and paving services for a variety of projects. Craig & Heidt’s expertise extends to a deep understanding of petrochemical industry standards and regulations, ensuring compliance and minimizing potential risks. With a focus on building long-term relationships, it has earned the trust of petrochemical clients through reliability and exceptional service.
Embracing innovation, Craig & Heidt stays at the forefront of civil construction processes by incorporating environmentally sound solutions. In an era where sustainability is paramount, innovative approaches are reshaping the infrastructure landscape to reduce waste and minimize environmental impact. Sustainability is at the heart of everything it does. For over four decades, the company has been dedicated to integrating environmentally responsible practices across all aspects of its business. It continuously seeks opportunities to improve sustainability performance, investing in cutting-edge solutions that benefit both its customers and the environment.
One such pioneering initiative is pavement recycling: the integration of recycled plastics into asphalt mixtures, effectively diverting significant quantities of plastic waste from landfills while enhancing the performance and longevity of road surfaces. Existing pavements are revitalized onsite by reclaiming and stabilizing them with chemical additives like Portland cement or lime fly ash. This process creates a durable new base without the need to transport materials to landfills, significantly reducing waste and carbon emissions while minimizing downtime for pavement owners. By incorporating recycled plastics into asphalt mixes, Craig & Heidt is spearheading efforts to revolutionize traditional paving practices. This approach not only addresses the pressing issue of plastic waste management but also leverages these materials to improve the durability and sustainability of road infrastructure.
In addition to pavement recycling, Craig & Heidt maximizes the use of recycled materials in its construction activities. It prioritizes the incorporation of commercially available crushed concrete aggregates sourced from recycled sources. Furthermore, the company’s hot mix asphalt concrete formulations include 25% Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP), enhancing sustainability by reusing materials that would otherwise be discarded. This cutting-edge technology incorporates finely ground post-consumer plastics into the production of hot mix asphalt concrete. By diverting plastic waste from landfills and improving the performance of asphalt, this initiative allows for an increased percentage of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in its projects. The initiative has the potential to divert millions of pounds of plastic waste annually, underscoring Craig & Heidt’s commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation in the construction industry. A single project using recycled plastic asphalt can yield profound environmental benefits.
Consider a typical 20-foot-wide road laid with a 3-inch depth of plastic asphalt hot mix. This installation alone can divert an astonishing amount of plastic waste from landfills, equivalent to over nine million plastic straws, more than one million plastic bags and more than half a million plastic water bottles. This staggering impact underscores the transformative potential of recycled plastics in infrastructure development. These measures not only conserve natural resources but also enhance the sustainability and structural integrity of its projects. They contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions and ensure there are no microplastics in asphalt formulations.
