When building iconic structures in Northern Ontario, George Stone and Sons has been a trusted name for over a century. Their successful and longstanding partnership with Lafarge Canada has resulted in numerous landmark projects throughout the region.
“Our partnership with George Stone and Sons exemplifies how collaboration can elevate both quality and innovation in construction,” says Jayson Hill, Head of Northern Ontario, Ready-Mix, Lafarge Canada (East). “Together, we’ve delivered concrete solutions that not only meet but exceed the demanding requirements of these critical projects.”
Exceptional Construction Projects Require Exceptional Concrete
Established in 1915, George Stone and Sons has a long history of high-quality construction projects. Their reputation for excellence is built on a foundation of quality materials, skilled workmanship, and a dedication to meeting the highest standards. Lafarge Canada has been a key partner in this journey, providing superior concrete solutions that have contributed to the success of many of their projects.
According to Randy Stone, President of George Stone & Sons Inc., "Lafarge Canada has been instrumental in our success. Their team has consistently supplied us with top-quality concrete across all our projects, whether from their Sault Ste. Marie plant or other locations in Thessalon, Wawa, and Hemlo. Their superior product knowledge, mix design capabilities, service and quality control sets them apart as a reliable partner."
Concrete Solutions Across Multiple Projects
The partnership between George Stone and Sons and Lafarge Canada has been key in shaping the landscape of Sault Ste. Marie. The Sault Area Hospital, the Toyota dealership, the first phase of the West End Community Centre (now the NCC) and the Extendicare foundations at Mapleview on Northern Avenue are all testaments to the strength of the collaboration.
“We’re proud to have contributed to these significant projects alongside George Stone and Sons,” says Dean MacDonald, Plant Manager, Lafarge Canada. “Our focus is always on delivering consistent quality, and we look forward to continuing this tradition with future projects.”
Randy Stone agrees, noting that “Lafarge’s ability to supply large volumes of concrete within tight timelines has made them our go-to provider for ready-mix concrete on projects of all sizes."
Large Projects Require Reliable Partners
One of the most recent and demanding projects undertaken by George Stone and Sons, in collaboration with Lafarge Canada, is the construction of the new Electric Arc Furnace at Algoma Steel. This massive undertaking requires a reliable and efficient concrete supplier to meet the project's stringent requirements.
Randy Stone comments on the project: "Lafarge has not only met our high-volume needs but has also supported other contractors working at Algoma Steel. With several months of work remaining on the Electric Arc Furnace project, we are confident that Lafarge will continue to deliver the consistency and reliability we need to complete the job successfully.”
