Oldcastle Infrastructure, a CRH company, and the Atlanta-based industry leader in engineered building materials solutions, has been awarded the top prize in the Data category of the Ventana Research 15th Annual Digital Leadership Awards.
The winning body of work from Oldcastle Infrastructure centered around becoming a data-driven company. With data siloed across so many systems, bringing it together was a significant challenge. The solution was a rebuilding by the Oldcastle Infrastructure team of the foundation of the Data and Analytics platform, which improved technical capabilities and effectively opened the data flood gates.
The Digital Leadership Awards highlight technology leaders across business and IT and spotlight individuals and organizations that have utilized and championed modernization and transformation across their people, processes, information, and technology sectors to grow their business and industry market potential. The Awards span 10 areas of expertise.
The Data category of the Awards was judged on case studies and additional information provided by Oldcastle Infrastructure to evaluate and recognize the organization and technology that best exemplifies leadership in data, and related technologies that support data, and to determine the impact and performance that resulted from the use of technology.
“We’re honored by this recognition in that it acknowledges work accomplished by a fantastic team of people company-wide,” said Nick Heigerick, senior manager, advanced analytics for Oldcastle Infrastructure.

Known as the flower capital of the world, Encinitas, Calif., is a beautiful little beach town 30 minutes north of downtown San Diego. This sewer bypass manhole project was in the middle of a residential street in this busy community, with significant traffic. Therefore, it was crucial the construction team be in and out of this location as quickly as possible. Low-impact construction is all about designing and completing a project with the least effect on the community. Using precast methods instead of cast-in-place, contractors were able to dig out the existing space, insert the new precast manhole base into the hole, connect it to both ends of the bypass, extend the manhole, backfill the site and complete the project in hours instead of days.
