Newport Aggregates, a division of Newport Construction Corporation, has established itself as a leader in heavy highway infrastructure and civil construction services. Founded by Richard A. DeFelice, who has over 40 years of experience in the industry, the company emphasizes quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. From its origin in the early 2000s, Newport quickly expanded due to its commitment to teamwork and a client-focused approach, enabling it to become a preferred partner for various governmental and private organizations.
The company specializes in an array of services, including major roadway construction, asphalt paving, utility work, excavation, site development, and more. By self-performing much of its work—unlike many competitors that rely on subcontractors—Newport maintains complete control over project timelines and quality, ensuring a smooth and efficient construction process. They manage over 1,000 projects annually, showcasing their capability in handling projects of varying sizes and complexities.
A notable aspect of Newport's operations is its aggregate recycling and processing facility, which opened in 2009 in the country's oldest active granite quarry. This was complemented by the launch of an asphalt manufacturing facility in 2020, reinforcing Newport’s position in the marketplace through vertical integration. As of 2024, the company has been acquired by VINCI, a globally recognized construction leader, which will further enhance Newport's capabilities and regional presence.
At the heart of Newport is a dedicated team of professionals across various departments—estimating, operations, finance, and fieldwork—all committed to upholding the highest safety standards and fostering a culture that prioritizes worker safety and client satisfaction. With an impressive portfolio and a strong network of clients, Newport Aggregates is well-prepared to continue its growth and maintain its esteemed position in the construction industry.
