From the bench to the slab

The mine is run by Karma CP Systems Private Limited, a CP Systems subsidiary, and produces CP-DRUK White Galaxy for flooring, countertops and facades.

Blocks are freed from the face with diamond wire saws, squared on the bench, stacked for dispatch and cut into slabs on gang saws at Tagena.
