THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA Bringing value Two more values that JMJ Rock Forming has embraced over the years include innovation and sustainability. On the innovation front, JMJ has embraced technologies that amplify efficiency without losing the hands-on essence of concrete forming. For example, Jeremy points to the Trimble Robotic Total Station as a “game changer.” Where survey layout once required two people pacing corners with a prism and transit, a single operator now controls the station via tablet and prism, pinning grid lines and foundation points in hours instead of days. “It really saves manpower,” Jeremy says. “Two guys might do two or three hours of layout each day—now it’s one guy, and the time adds up.” Beyond layout, the company selectively uses advanced formwork systems and high-performance concrete mixes when project specifications demand it, but Jeremy resists fads that don’t deliver tangible improvements.
