White Quarry

Our WHITE QUARRY is a high-grade calcite marble manufacturing unit situated in Asia's biggest market - Umti Rajsamand. The marble obtained from this quarry has a pure white finish.

Our vigilant quarrying of marble and skilled extraction of the valued blocks is fully mechanised with the latest technology from Italy such as tunnelling machines, diamond belt saws, and drilling equipment that ensures high quality products.

Quarrying Process

The principle tool of modern quarrying is a wire cable, 1cm in diameter, fitted at 5cm intervals with diamond-studded collars. Holes are drilled in the mountain, the cable is threaded through the holes to form a loop, and the loop is driven at high speed by an electric motor.In an open pit quarry, the marble is extracted in rectangular blocks approximately measuring 8' x 8' x 16'. Once the sides and back of a block have been separated from the mountain using the wire cable, the bottom is undercut from the front using a chainsaw that translates along a horizontal rail.

Eventually the block splits away from the wall and topples to the ground. Marble is hard, but it is also brittle. Hence, to prevent the 80 ton block from shattering on impact, a bed of rubble is prepared beforehand. Too large to transport, this block is then cut into smaller blocks measuring 4' x 4' x 8' and weighing 10 tons. The marble blocks are then transported to a sawmill by truck.
