Deciding where to put a quarry
There are things about stone, like color, pattern, and quality that are unique to each marble quarry.

After figuring out where the marble deposits is, the next step is to take a sample to find out the exact color and other details. After getting all the necessary permissions, quarrying operations can begin.

 

Drilling
In the next step, the marble rocks are drilled with pneumatic steel drillers and down-the-hole drills. The first machine is used to drill holes in the vertical, horizontal, and angled planes, while the second is used to drill holes in the vertical plane.

 

First Cuts
Using a vertical hole drilling method to cut big blocks of marble, the next step is to make the primary cuts. Using the diamond wire machine, thus marble blocks are made.

 

Carrying and Lifting
The last step in marble quarrying is to lift and move the big marble blocks to different places where they will be processed. Heavy-duty cranes are often used to move raw, large blocks and load them onto trucks.
