Safe Pavement for Children With Medical Complexities
Maul Paving donates time and material to Almost Home Kids
Among their charitable efforts, Maul Paving of Naperville, IL donated preventative maintenance to a short-term health care facility for children with complex medical conditions.
Almost Home Kids provides a bridge from hospital to home through an innovative community-based care system.
SCOPE OF THE DONATION The initial project started four years ago when Maul Paving reconstructed their entire parking lot, totaling upwards of $250,000. Paul Price, director of business development, reaches out every two years for the lot maintenance to ensure the parking lot is safe and protected.
“Community partnerships are vitally important to us,” said Gail Linhart, director of operations. “Not only does it allow us to steward our fiscal resources directly to the children’s care and the supportive clinical programs, but the safety and quality of our facility is greatly enhanced.”
This facility is operational 24/7 and the crew had to accommodate emergency vehicles. The six-person team put in a 12-hour day, sectioning the lot and utilizing fast curing agents in the material to maintain operation. Once dry, the line marking crew came and made sure the facility was ready.
“It feels good knowing we made a difference to the facility and the children it serves,” said Price. “These children are able to get in and out safely, it’s properly paved, seal coated and restriped.”
This in-kind donation totaled $5,000 worth of pavement services.
“We are proud of the communities we serve and donations like these can ensure visitors using the facilities are safe, on well-maintained properties,” said Price. ■ To read the full Good Neighbor article, visit ForConstructionPros. com/21977736.
