THE CALCAREOUS LIMESTONE

  • Diabase is an intrusive rock of late Cretaceous age with a microcrystalline texture and basaltic composition and occurs as dykes in the Sheeted Dyke Complex and the Basal Group of the Troodos Ophiolite. It is tough, compact, abrasion resistant, inert to chemical and physical disintegration and generally free from harmful substances. The diabase is widely distributed within the igneous complex of the Troodos Ophiolite and forms a large part of the Troodos Range.
The quarrying process
  • The excavation of the diabase rock is done by implementing safe, efficient and cost-effective drilling and blasting.
The quarry team
  • The quarry’s skillful team has gathered a wealth of knowledge about the unique characteristics of the diabase work. The team uses its background to design shot patterns that balance the desired breakage outcomes with the cost of achieving them. The quarry team’s members have specialized training in drilling and blasting ensuring the work is completed with professionalism and within the European regulations.
