The 2024 ACEC Roads and Streets Conference was a huge success. The conference was held at El Conquistador Tucson from September 25th through 27th with a Hotwheels theme! Achen-Gardner Construction enjoyed learning from peers and sharing our work as well as racing our pinewood derby car in the 1st annual ACEC/PAC Fundraiser Pinewood Rally.

Thank you to all who stopped by our booth to connect with our employee-owners, take fun swag, and learn about the work we do and the value we bring to our clients. Congratulations to the winner of our grand prize!

Achen-Gardner is proud to have strong partnerships in our family of brands. Emery Sapp & Sons (ESS) recently won the 2023 Arizona Transportation Partnering Excellence Award for their Maricopa County I-17 Pavement Rehabilitation Diamond Grinding DBB project. ESS was the general contractor, and Achen-Gardner was a subcontractor. Chris Fitzpatrick, ESS Project Manager, accepted the award at the conference. This project for the Arizona Department of Transportation restored an important piece of transportation infrastructure using the diamond grinding technique.
