1924
Interstate Amiesite was established and licensed to produce amiesite, a patented cold-mix, cold-laid bituminous concrete material that played a significant role in early road building.
1935
The Interstate Amiesite product was placed on Maine Street in Newark, Delaware, by the Amiesite Asphalt Company of America.
1954
The company evolved into a full-fledged paving contractor, expanding its services and impact in the construction industry.
Late 1980s
Reflecting its diversification from paving to general contracting, Interstate Amiesite underwent a name change to become IA Construction Corporation.
Over the years, IA Construction Corp. acquired companies like Emlenton Limestone, General Concrete Products, Cumberland Contracting, and more.
May 1989
Colas acquired IA Holdings Corporation.
2000
IA Construction Corp. owned five regional offices managing fifteen bituminous concrete plants, seven aggregate plants, and three shops, with a strong presence in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and New York.
2002
Barrett Industries Corporation incorporated IA Construction Corp. into its group, maintaining local roots with the extensive expertise and resources of a global network. The acquisition led to strategic mergers, including the integration of HMA plants and the sale of certain bituminous concrete plants.
