QUARRYING
The major unit operations and processes within our quarry operations include:
Drilling & Blasting
Drilling is done with a heavy duty track drilling machine and the process involves drilling holes in the identified area of the rock with a preset pattern. The blasting parameters are designed to suit the rock conditions and gradation requirements. The holes are charged with the explosive chemicals with the detonators attached then blasting is done using an exploder machine. The blasting is carried out in accordance with safety and environmental regulations.
The in-house availability of our resources allows for synergistic backward and forward integration of group operations, which ultimately leads to us being able to achieve a competitive advantage over our competitors.
