Conventional concrete
We offer a wide range of conventional bagged concrete suitable for a variety of projects. These high-performance concretes feature excellent placement and finishing quality. The cements, aggregates, and additives are measured and mixed with precision in our ISO9001 and NQ 2621-905 certified bagging plant, guaranteeing consistency from one bag to the next. Setting time can be increased or decreased according to specific needs. We also carry different bag sizes, ranging from 30 kg to 1000 kg, or 1 m3, with or without delivery spout. We also have a number of mixers designed especially to maximize productivity, guarantee mix quality, and ensure user safety. Our mixers can be quickly and easily moved to remote locations.
Shotcrete
Years of research and development have gone into our dry-mix shotcretes, resulting in several specialty concretes:
GATORPASSTM: an abrasion-resistant shotcrete of unparalleled value for the price, and for protecting and repairing ore passes, hoppers, silos, and any other high-use structure.
PUR concrete: shotcrete that reaches high compressive strength very quickly, designed to considerably reduce turnaround time.
Arctic concrete: shotcrete designed especially for northern environments (<0 °C), where low temperatures usually restrict the use of conventional shotcretes.
Our shotcretes have proven themselves on many projects, both on the surface and underground. They are suitable for all applications – inclined, vertical, or overhanging horizontal surfaces – and they can be used for structural reinforcement and for protection or repair of both abraded and smooth surfaces. Our shotcretes have been formulated to maximize placement (better surface adhesion, increased application thickness per pass, less rebound). We control all production stages, from aggregate sieving to bagging, guaranteeing consistency from one bag to the next. This is particularly important for shotcrete, where accuracy of grain size is essential to maximizing adhesion. We can vary a wide range of additives (accelerators, air-entraining agents, waterproofing agents) to adjust the characteristics of our shotcretes. We can also provide premixed bagged concretes for wet-mix shotcrete.
Masonry products
We have developed many masonry products for the construction industry, including N and S type mortars, building block mortars, and block-fill grout. These products all meet the requirements of the CSA A-179 standard.
