RJW Role
Subcontractor for Stone Restoration
Date Completed
September 2012
Services for the West Block Rehabilitation Project include the restoration of historic masonry and sculptural elements, hand cutting and replacement of damaged stones, implementation of seismic reinforcement and cleaning of stonework.
  In addition to the extensive work being completed using time honoured practices of historic masons, we use a variety of cutting edge technologies in its operations. The implementation of one of Canada's first industrial laser cleaning systems serves as a prime example of such technologies.
