At CRH, our materials are essential for life and living. For decades, we’ve been the force behind some of America’s greatest cities – powering the vital infrastructure that keeps communities connected and commerce thriving.
One such example is our strong history supporting the growth of New York City, which comes to life every day on foundations built from our materials and our expertise.
Materials chosen for resilience and durability
Our quarries are responsible for some of the most important and iconic roads, buildings, bridges and infrastructure that shape New York City’s skyline. We crush, sort, and shape the stone – our technical expertise and science, dedication to innovation as well as our unrivaled size and scale working in perfect rhythm.
Our stone has constructed some of the city’s most recognizable, resilient and iconic towers, adding to the architectural beauty of New York and preserving its historical significance.
Locally-owned and globally-enabled, we are the leading provider of building materials, enabling the modernization of infrastructure exactly where it’s needed most.
Roads built for performance
Every load we deliver carries a purpose. One of our most impactful contributions to America’s connectivity is the provision of high-quality asphalt, which is crucial for paving its extensive network of streets, highways and bridges; facilitating the daily commute for millions of motorists and enabling the smooth operation of commercial facilities that operate our booming economy.
Our materials build roads and runways that are designed to perform – that withstand immense weight, traffic and weather conditions. We’ve played a significant role rehabilitating many of the country’s regional and metropolitan airports – vital gateways for international and domestic travel and an immense undertaking that requires precision, trust and speed.
Our experience enables us to mobilize crews at speed to repair roads and pavements that are critical to keeping the city connected. In New York for example, we provided a bespoke asphalt mix for the Mario Cuomo Bridge, one of the largest design-build contracts for a transportation project in the United States. We’ve repaired and repaved the George Washington Bridge by night, and our materials have played a significant role in the Lincoln tunnel, among many. Our materials and our people are the force behind this incredible infrastructure, which has proven to stand the test of time, and help keep Manhattan on the move.
Our impact runs deep
And we provide more than highways, driveways, bridges and backyards. You can see our materials everywhere you look – and everywhere you don’t.
Our materials protect and connect the water, energy, and communications infrastructure above and below ground… from stormwater runoff and wastewater treatment to energy solutions that power traffic lights and pedestrian crossways and other critical utilities that make daily life in New York City possible.
With a rich history across America, and a scale, size and capability set that is unrivaled in our industry, our expertise, commitment to quality and ability to transform essential materials into solutions Americans can count on will continue to deliver returns into the future.
