San José, Calif.– Judy Ross, Assistant Director of Aviation at Mineta San José International Airport (SJC), was awarded with the International Partnering Institute’s highest honor for an individual with the Chairman’s Award. The distinguished award is presented annually to an induvial who makes a tremendous difference for both their organization and IPI’s mission to grow and share the model of partnering. Every year IPI honors organizations and individuals who have worked to make the construction industry more collaborative for a successful outcome.
IPI recognizes projects and individuals who best exemplify the principles of partnering and promote its mission to transform the construction industry to achieve exceptional results through a culture of collaboration. The awards celebrate success, lessons learned and best practices, and acknowledges teams and individuals who achieve extraordinary results.
“We are extremely proud of Judy’s well-deserved recognition from IPI, and her continued dedication in utilizing best practices learned from IPI for Silicon Valley’s Airport,” said John Aitken, Director of Aviation. “Judy’s leadership and forward-thinking provides our Airport and employees with stability and opportunities to achieve success.”
Ms. Ross is accredited with introducing the concept of a Pilot Partnering Project based on her findings from an IPI committee and best practices she learned through IPI from other nationwide airports. For her efforts in piloting this program, SJC received IPI’s Diamond Level Project of the Year Award in 2018 for its Security Perimeter Technology Project. The team was awarded this exemplary honor for their dedication to the partnering process, achieving excellent results, and delivering an overall outstanding project.

According to IPI, SJC raised the bar by delivering the fastest design build project in San Jose, while inviting other nationwide airports to witness partnering in action.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
