IMPROVEMENT THE TECHNOLOGY OF NATURAL STONE MINING IN AZERBAIJAN QUARRIES

Abstract

The means of improving operational performance
of natural stones mining are investigated. The combined method of quarries output rise by reducing
operating costs and losses is proposed. Both the
output of large blocks increase from 25% up to 35%
and reduction the production cost have been
proved. Industrial tests of the proposed technology
of large blocks mining were performed in the
Shakhtakhtinsky travertine quarry.
