Six asphalt plants owned and operated by Vecellio Group companies have been honored with “Green Diamond” awards for their clean, well-maintained, state-of-the-art facilities.

Known officially as the Diamond Achievement Commendation for Excellence in Hot Mix Asphalt Plant/Site Operations, the certifications are bestowed by the National Asphalt Pavement Association.

Ranger South’s Miami-Dade, FL, plant and VG Asphalt’s Greensboro, NC, facility, both new plants, joined the list of Vecellio Group’s Green Diamond recipients.

Ranger Construction’s Winter Garden, Fort Pierce and West Palm Beach plants, and Ranger South’s Pompano Beach plant, were recertified as Green Diamond facilities.

To qualify, nominees must comply with industry and community regulations, maintain a neat appearance with attractive landscaping and well-kept shops and yards, and emphasize safety and sound environmental practices.
