Developing a Quarry
Developing a Quarry
(OP)
I have a client who wants to develop a quarry. He has miles of land with different terrain to choose from. Before I start doing test borings all over the place looking for good rock, I would like to read a book (or maybe a chapter in geotech book) on developing a quarry. Any help??

Geologic mapping is a must. The USGS may have regional maps, or if not the USGS, then a local university.
You state that the proposed quarry is on an island in the pacific. Wil the market be captive? Is the product aggregate or cement or both? What about equipment sizing and selection.
As an aside, I am in real life a mining engineer and would be pleased to answer any questions directly if you care to contact me at jbabcock2@yahoo.com.
