Speciality concrete mixes are available on request. 

We deliver over long distances from each plant (in excess of forty miles).

We can offer speciality concrete mixes including but not limited to:

Ready Mix Type Applications Benefits

Retarded Used when a delay in setting time is desired  Controlled setting time
to ensure sufficient placement, vibration or
compaction time.
 Compatible with most other
concrete admixtures
 Improved hardened
 Hot weather pours properties
 Long haul deliveries  Scheduling flexibility

Air Entrained Cold room floors  Resists freezing and

thawing action
 Resists cracking
 Increased workability
 Extends life of concrete
structure exposed to
freezing/thawing

Fibre Reinforced Alternative to welded wire fabric when used  Non-corrosive

as secondary reinforcement.
 Improved impact, shatter
and abrasion resistance
 Floor slabs  Multi-dimensional
reinforcement
 Reduction of plastic
 shrinkage cracking

Flowable Fill  Cost effective in comparison to compacted  Improved flowability

soil.
 Controlled strength
 Self levelling
 Back filling of underground structures
 Quick set capability
 Ease of re-excavation

Superplasticized High slump concrete with extreme working  Superior pumpability and
characteristics where reduced water/cement workability
ratios are required.
 Extended slump retention
 High early strengths
 Low permeability structures
 Compatible with most other
admixes
 Enhanced finishing
characteristics.
 Early form removal

Corrosion Inhibitor Corrosion protection for concrete containing  Chemically inhibits

steel reinforcement or pre-stressing strands corrosive action or chlorides
 Lower water/cement ratio
 Marine structures
 Bridges 

Aggregates

The aggregates produced by JPM's two plants are used in the production of ready mixed and site mixed
concrete, as well as asphaltic concrete for road surfaces. They include graded 3/8", 5/8", 3/4", 1" and 1
½" stones, as well as washed sand.

The material selection, crushing and washing operations ensure that clean, hard and well-graded
aggregates are always produced to meet customer and project requirements. JPM's aggregate mining
operations comply with existing environmental regulations.
