QUARRY OPERATION














 

As a "world-class" marble producer, TMC pioneered the commercial application of Diamond Cutting technology in the country for marble block production

 






MARBLE PRODUCTION IS no easy task. We follow stringent care in selecting and developing sites for potential quarrying operations. Once a site has bedd established to be suitable for
block production, we begin a series of access road developments and lay down the needed infrastructure in order to safely and efficiently quarry.

Actual quarry operations begin with planning and the proper layout execution of how blocks will be sliced using our wire saw technology. Once all factors are considered, wire sawing
begins by developing the site for the block production. Usually, blocks of marble mass (measuring about 10 to 12 meters long by 10 meters wide and 7 meters high) are produced from the
wire saw operations. These blocks then go through strict inspections for proper classification according to geological features and colors. Blocks are classified either for slabbing
or tilling purposes. Finally, after proper classification, the blocks will be transported, either by a Payloader or mobile crane for secure stockpiling.

 
PROCESSING OPERATION








 

Marble Processing takes place in Teresa Marble's 7-hectare marble processing plant located in Rizal, Antipolo.


ONCE CLASSIFIED MARBLE blocks are delivered to designated processing and fabrication sections, the tedious work of turning the raw stones into works of art begins. In order to
maintain high level of output quality, our plant is equipped with modern European machines manned by our expert operations. For instance, the slabbing section at Teresa, Rizal, utilizes
a Breton 14-head auto-polishing machine. Superior production methods that includes meticulous matching of tiles or slabs and state-of-the-art equipment for tile calibration and
chamfering, ensure that distinctive patterns of every stone in precise demensions are preserved in the finished layout. Finally, additional inlay work is designed and executed by
an in-house team of artist professionals. Once the finishing process is completed, the slabs or tiles are carefully crated for delivery.
