Winnipeg’s Pipe manufacturing
operation has been serving Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Northwestern Ontario since 1949. Originally
our plant was located on St. Joseph’s
Street in old Saint Boniface. Our operations
initially supplied 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm,
and 305 mm diameter pipe, which was manufactured
on a Woodstock Machine.
In 1957, we purchased two more machines
and expanded our capabilities to produce
pipe up to 2700 mm in diameter. In the fall
of 1979, having outgrown our current site,
the plant was relocated to its present location
at 185 Dawson Road, in the St. Boniface
Industrial Park. At that time, a Vihi and
Hydro Tile machine were added to the plant
to supply the increasing demand for concrete
pipe.
Winnipeg’s
pipe plant was owned and operated by Supercrete
Ltd., for 33 years. In 1982, LafargeCanadaInc.
purchased Supercrete and built the business
to what it is today. To remain the industry’s
leader, Lafarge invests
in both its operations and staff to ensure
its commitment of supplying quality products
and services to clients.
