In 1958, the year owner Robert Mendenhall founded Las Vegas Paving, the metropolitan area began a building boom that would last nearly 50 years. During that time, the population grew by nearly 2 million. Likewise, the contractor grew to dominate road building and construction in Southern Nevada and beyond.
According to the ENR Southwest Top Contractors survey, the firm’s regional revenue in 2015 reached $486 million, up nearly $120 million from 2014 and up almost $260 million from 2013. The privately held firm ranks second in the region for total revenue and first in the transportation and public sectors and first in Nevada-based project revenue.
“We have worked with [Las Vegas Paving] for 40 years. They are very innovative.”
—Tracy Larkin-Thomason, NDOT Deputy Director
Beyond the numbers are the dynamics of a company that hasn’t lost sight of its goal of being an efficient and innovative firm that maintains its strong position in a region of dramatic growth, according to clients of the firm, including the Nevada Dept. of Transportation.
“We have worked with them for 40 years. They are very innovative,” says Tracy Larkin-Thomason, NDOT deputy director.

拉斯维加斯铺路建造了1974年世界上第一英里的回收沥青高速公路，为各地的道路建造者带来了一个新时代。门登哈尔（Mendenhall）拥有沥青回收的几个方面的专利，这些沥青回收已获得了设备制造商CMI公路建设的许可。如今，该公司还不仅铺路，还从事具体的工作，环境服务，提供材料等。
Larkin-Thomason说新利18备用网址，在当前的NDOT项目中，拉斯维加斯铺路在适应可变项目情况的同时提供结果的能力至关重要。她说：“从我的角度来看，使它们与众不同的是，当问题出现时，它们与我们的工作能力如何。”

该公司目前正在解决迄今为止最大的项目，即2.36亿美元的巨石城旁路，这是内华达州11号州际公路努力的第二阶段。该项目将在Boulder City的南部和东部周围从I-515到US-93建立大约12英里的新高速公路。该项目包括在US-95的新互换以及在US-93/SR-172 Hoover Dam Exit的US-93/SR-172的重新配置交换处的四车道访问控制的高速公路的设计和构建。主要的项目元素包括广泛的岩石开挖，九座桥梁，俯瞰米德湖的风景景观停车场，排水涵洞和环境缓解措施。该项目的一部分正在通过El Dorado山脉的山脊进行建设。
Other recently completed major highway projects include the I-215 North and South projects, which expanded the urban Las Vegas freeway system. The firm also regularly performs work at McCarran Airport and completed a 12-month, $67-million runway rehabilitation project in late 2015 to replace an asphalt runway with concrete.
Las Vegas Paving’s strategic strengths keep the firm busy building roads in the region, according to Fred Ohene, deputy general manager of planning and engineering at the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, the agency that manages the I-11 project. He cites the firm’s local presence in materials, manpower and knowledge as key reasons for their success.
Las Vegas Paving has 11 locations in the Las Vegas Valley, including asphalt plants, gravel pits, equipment centers and quarries. “The fact that they have all of these concessions helps them a lot,” says Ohene.
收购和创建设施是一个花费数十年来完成的过程的一部分。
“The vision that our owner had and of our board of directors was to purposely set up shop in those parts of the Valley—whether the Valley grew to the north, south, east or west—so we were strategically positioned to help us facilitate that growth,” says Ryan Mendenhall, division manager, Las Vegas Paving. Ryan is the grandson of founder Robert Mendenhall.
Ryan Mendenhall说，手头上有这样的资源可以更有效地估算竞标工作。“由于我们有自己的网站，因此我们能够以最小的卡车运输方式在山谷中的任何地方表演。有时，这可能比材料本身更高。”他说。
建立人建立项目新利18备用网址
除了公司的材料优势外，拉斯维加斯铺路还吹捧其团队建设能力，这是赢得工作的关键原因。例如，该公司在几年的时间内对I-11的出价进行了准备工作，并包括设计和分包团队的意见。
他说：“我们以非常谨慎和准确的态度来处理这些较大的设计建设项目，形成了一个与我新利18备用网址们相同的价值观，道德和愿景的团队。”“因此，当要提交我们的提案时，不仅可以很好地做到我们的人际关系，而且还可以节省设计或成本，因为我们已经参与了多年才能向公众公开。”
Ohene说，一旦拉斯维加斯铺路赢得了一份工作，该项目的灵活性使所有者很高兴他们做出了选择。
例如，I-11项目需要定期浇水以限制灰尘并减轻天然存在的石棉。Ohene说，开始工作后，拉斯维加斯铺路将池塘和管道系统扩展到15英里，以便进一步降低高石棉水平接触该地区的可能性，而无需要求变更顺序。
“We haven’t had any remediation at all,” he says.
Mendenhall says the firm’s traits were born from its 88-year-old founder, Robert, who continues to inspire.
“When you have an owner who could easily have been at home for the last 20 years but instead continues to come to work every day and innovate, that work ethic trickles down to his managers, to the superintendents and to the Teamsters, laborers and flaggers,” Mendenhall says.
Jay Smith, president of Las Vegas Paving, who has been with the firm for more than 40 years, says Robert’s ongoing involvement includes regular attendance of monthly management meetings and breakfasts. The nearly day-long meetings include making decisions on buying equipment and conclude with accounting staff discussing results with the management staff.
部门经理科里·纽科克（Corey Newcome）表示，该公司成功的食谱的一部分包括罗伯特（Robert）赋予经理能力成功的能力。他还指出，成功实施了混凝土和地下部门，该部门使该公司能够在赢得的工作中执行大量工作。
“Our owner has a good level of confidence in us, and we have responded accordingly,” he says.
