Business Wire22-05-2025
WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Granite (NYSE:GVA) has been awarded an approximately $26 million contract by the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to upgrade Taxiway Z and a portion of Taxiway S at SFO in San Francisco, California. Project funding is to come from SFO and will be included in Granite's second-quarter CAP.
This project will rehabilitate the taxiways to ensure the continued safety and efficiency of aircraft operations. Taxiway Z serves as a primary corridor for aircraft movement between the terminals, airline maintenance, and cargo facilities.
"We are excited to be part of this critical infrastructure project at SFO," said Brent Fogg, Granite Vice President of Regional Operations. "Our collaboration with SFO on the Taxiway Z Rehabilitation Project underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional projects and advancing the safety and efficiency of airport operations."
Project scope includes the reconstruction of asphalt concrete pavement, replacement of airfield lighting with LED lighting and signage, a 12kV electrical duct bank upgrade, and the installation of updated pavement markings and drainage improvements. These enhancements are designed to improve the overall functionality and safety of the taxiways, ensuring that SFO remains a leader in aviation infrastructure.
This project is part of SFO's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), a multi-billion-dollar initiative focused on modernizing and improving the airport's infrastructure, including runways, taxiways, and terminals. The CIP includes the "Delivering Exceptional Projects" initiative, which aligns with Granite's key objectives of Trust, Transparency, Early Contractor Collaboration, and Alternate Delivery. This project also supports Granite's long-term goals to partner with SFO on their other Alternate Procurement Projects.
Granite's nearby Santa Clara hot plant will be providing 24,105 tons of hot mix asphalt (HMA) for the project, ensuring high-quality materials and efficient delivery.
Construction is expected to begin in August 2025 and be completed in November 2025.

Best's Market Segment Report: A Two-Way Street for Reinsurance Diversification in Asia

HONG KONG, August 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Asia's reinsurers are actively expanding to mature overseas markets as part of a move to diversity and be more agile with underwriting cycle management, according to a new report from AM Best. The Best's Market Segment Report, "Asia in Focus: A Two-Way Street for Reinsurance Diversification," is part of AM Best's overall look at the global reinsurance industry ahead of the Rendez-Vous de Septembre in Monte Carlo. Other reinsurance-related reports, including AM Best's ranking of top global reinsurance groups and in-depth looks at the insurance-linked securities, Lloyd's, life/annuity, health and regional reinsurance markets, will be available during August and September. AM Best views the move to diversity as credit positive. The report also notes that the majority of reinsurers within AM Best's Asia Reinsurance Composite posted higher levels of net income in 2024, with China's reinsurers experiencing the most notable gains. Over the past decade, the major European reinsurers have identified the Asia-Pacific region as a key source for diversification and growth. "Asia-Pacific reinsurers are following a similar strategy, significantly expanding abroad," said Christie Lee, senior director, AM Best. "With economic momentum slowing in China, and mature markets like Japan and South Korea facing demographic and economic headwinds, North Asian major reinsurers have increasingly turned to international markets to sustain growth and diversify risk." Among some of the report's other highlights: The composite's weighted average return on equity ratio improved to 11.3% for 2024, supported by stronger underwriting results and higher investment income, thus extending the improving trend from 2023. Reinsurers based in Singapore and throughout South/Southeast Asia reported strong earnings for 2024 that were broadly flat year-on-year, but still near historic highs. Reinsurance capacity rebuilds occurred amid pricing adequacy, leading to increased competition and treaty oversubscription. In Japan, April renewal revenue was reduced owing to increased retention and rate reductions; this may further fuel Asia-Pacific 2026 January renewal softening.
