governments and Departments of Transportation in the
U.S. to advocate for new products or new ways to build
better roads.”
Doney says membership in organizations like the Alberta
Roadbuilders and Heavy Construction Association (ARHCA)
is another way Husky Asphalt can help foster advancements
in road construction.
“We feel that being a part of the local construction indus-try
where we are a major supplier is of key importance for
us,” he said. “It allows us to advocate…and to be part of a
larger, broader audience that has a bigger voice with govern-ments
and decision-makers.”
Earl says that Husky Asphalt is a long-time member
of ARHCA.
“We’re a significant supplier to the roadbuilding industry
in Alberta and we take our role and responsibility as a sup-plier
of asphalt products very seriously,” he said. “We like
to support the industry, and it’s great to rub shoulders with
the contractors and decision-makers in the province who
build roads.”
Earl estimates he’s attended at least 20 ARCHCA annual
general meetings and conferences during his many years in
the asphalt business.
“I consider it a great organization. I think they support
their members well, particularly the roadbuilding members,”
he said. “We’ve always felt very welcome in the organization
and they provide a lot of good information and insight into
the business.” n
Coping with
COVID-19
Elias Bulhoes, senior operations superintendent at the
Lloydminster refinery that produces Husky Asphalt’s
PMA products, says because health and safety is a
key priority for his company, Husky was ready for
COVID-19 with a comprehensive pandemic response
plan to protect workers, contractors and customers.
On the business side, Husky Asphalt didn’t experience
a downtown, unlike many other companies striving
to cope with effects of the pandemic.
“The Husky refinery in Lloydminster has been running
at full rates through the COVID-19 pandemic,” said
Dallin Doney, senior manager of sales and marketing
for Husky Asphalt. “The reason for that is that the
road construction industry hasn’t had any major
disruptions to the supply chain since governments
have deemed road construction to be essential, which
is where our product flows into.”
