Sandstone Quarry

Quarry is an open excavation from which the stone is obtained by digging, blasting or cutting. This process is called quarrying. The quarried stone is further processed. The typical process after quarrying involve the following four steps:

• Dressing
• Cutting/ sawing

• Edge-cutting-trimming.

Once the processing is over, the stone is ready for further use. The same procedure is followed for sandstone.
