The Canadian economy is closely linked to that of the United States. As such
there has been an economic impact but this impact has thus far been mitigated
and there was a strong rebound in late 2009 and early 2010

PERVIOUS
CONCRETE
Ready-Mix is the optimal Business Unit in the Holcim Value Chain for solutions
delivery. Innovations in products and services have made the Ready-Mix
Business Units into market leaders
Pervious concrete is a special type of high porosity concrete used where
applications require water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly
through.
It helps reduce stormwater runoff, replenishes aquifers, protects streams and
lakes and allows water and oxygen to reach tree roots.
SPECIALTY
CONCRETE
Specialty concretes were almost 10% of Demix Beton’s volumes in 2009.
Flex concrete is a bending application used with City of Montreal as well as
Montreal airport and ports.
Self-Placing is fluid and homogeneous with minimal segregation and bleeding;
used primarily for vertical applications.
ENVIROGUARD
Anti-Corrosion concrete inhibits the corrosion of steel reinforcement.
In 2009, Dufferin Concrete won multiple awards for a system that ensures no
chute wash water is released into the environment by returning the water used
to clean the chute back into the truck’s drum.
The benefits are in cost savings and also a stronger job site environment
scorecard which aids in LEEDS points.

RAPID BRIDGE
REPLACEMENT
Material recycling has been critical in allowing waste materials deposit sales
and also in construction cost reduction.
SNOW
REMOVAL
Dufferin Construction, one of the leading highway contractors for the province
of Ontario, has been low bidder on 3 RBRs in Ottawa and Hamilton. RBRs are
the replacement of a highway bridge overpass over the course of a weekend
where the entire bridge is removed and replaced with sectionals built in a
nearby staging area. RBR is not only more economical but also offers
solutions to the Municipalities in terms of less traffic congestion, a shorter
construction cycle and benefits to the public.
AGGREGATES
RECYCLING
Construction, in addition to Ready-Mix, is highly competitive in Greater Toronto
and Montreal markets. Providing solutions is how Dufferin and Demix
Construction distinguish themselves from other market players
In 2009, Demix Aggregates sold 230kt of recycled aggregates primarily to
Demix Construction’s A-25 PPP project. Additional opportunities for asphalt
recycling are being investigated to lower operating costs for construction and
provide a potential revenue stream for aggregates.
Since 1975, Dufferin Construction has been responsible for ‘air-side’ snow
removal at Pearson airport – a 24hrs/day, 6months/year contract. 250 DCC
personnel have Government of Canada security clearance and are available
on 1 hour notice.
The activity not only provides cash flow and operations during traditionally
slow construction months but also ensure equipment utilization over the
period.

A key area of growth for Holcim Canada is participation in PublicPrivate Partnerships in projects across Canada
• Public Private Partnerships (PPP) are an alternative method
for governments to meet the public’s infrastructure needs
• Through long-term PPP contracts that have design, build,
finance and operate components, governments can access
private sector expertise, technology and capital

Conclusion of 4th Line Water Study & Termination of
Temporary Water Supply to Your Property as of July 28, 2009
The purpose of this letter is to confirm that the independent 4th Line Water Supply Study by
Jagger Hims Limited concludes that the Acton Quarry is not impacting your well.
As you know, our policy is to supply water to properties experiencing water issues until such time
as a review of the situation can be completed. The Jagger Hims study is now the third study in
two years on this issue. We have satisfied ourselves and various government agencies that
Dufferin is not the cause of your problems. As such, there is no basis for our continued
involvement in this matter.
