Objective
SUSTAMINING project marks the start of a series of development activities aiming to realise the concept of an invisible, zero-impact mine. The natural stone extractive sector, still seen as being old-fashioned and highly environment polluting, will join forces to revise this image showing that natural stone extraction can be approached with a cutting edge methodology with low impact underground and zero impact above ground.
Faced with this problem this project aims to develop technological support for the sector covering both research centers with expertise in natural stone, business associations and SMEs.
The partial objectives that arise are:
1) Development of a new methodology for selective exploitation according to demand, taking into account the quality requirements of the product on site.
2) Application of this methodology in the design and exploitation of new quarries, transforming the raw material and quality control by using non-destructive geophysical methods.
3) Definition of the methodology in order to reduce waste production and minimize sterilization of reserves.
4) Development of geostatistics methods for estimation of natural stone reserves.
