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. |
