PETRO STONE Armenia

SECTION 02

Production

01 QUARRY

The block leaves the massif

Extraction happens in blocks. The massif is cut along the bed, the block is lifted out, marked and sent to the yard. Every month the quarry gives up more than thirteen hundred cubic metres.

WHAT THAT GIVES

  1. Our own face

    Extraction runs on our own quarry, with nobody standing between the massif and production.

  2. Selected at the face

    Raw material selection starts on site: colour and structure are judged before the first cut.

  3. One address

    Quarry and production sit side by side, so a block does not cross the country to reach the saw.

02 PRODUCTION

The block is opened

A MAN AT THE BLADE — FOR SCALE

The block arrives whole. Then it is opened: a disc saw passes through the stone and turns mass into plane. Everything that follows is born here.

FOUR STEPS

  1. Block intake

    The block is received, inspected and a cutting plan is set for the specific order.

  2. Sawing

    Disc sawing in the yard. The block gives up slabs and blanks of the required thickness.

  3. Cutting and calibration

    The blank is brought to format: size, thickness, edge.

  4. Surface finish

    The finish is set at this stage and checked against the reference sample.

FILMED AT THE FACTORY

This is what it looks like live

A bridge saw cuts a travertine slab. Water cools the blade and settles the dust - the edge comes out clean, without chipping.

03 MADE TO DRAWING

Your project does not have to fit a standard size

A separate line of work: not a catalogue, but a piece made for one specific junction. You send the drawing, we deliver the finished stone element.

Plan Step Indicative diagram. Your drawing sets the geometry and the dimensions.

An element from your drawing

  1. Drawing You send the drawing, or a dimensioned sketch of the junction.
  2. Material We choose the stone for the task: travertine, tuff or basalt.
  3. Production Cutting and finishing follow the geometry of the drawing.
  4. Quality control Dimensions, thickness and finish are checked against the drawing and the reference sample.
  5. Finished element The element is packed and prepared for dispatch.

04 QUALITY CONTROL

Natural variation.
Managed professionally.

Stone cannot be redone once it is laid. So inspection is not left to the end; it runs at every step, from the face to the closed crate.

REFERENCE SAMPLES

  5. PACKING

Six checks before dispatch

  1. Raw material selection

    Material is selected before sawing, at block level.

  2. Reference sample

    The batch is matched against the approved sample.

  3. Colour and structure

    Tone and pattern are assessed across the batch.

  4. Dimensions and thickness

    Geometry is checked against the stated format.

  5. Surface finish

    The texture is checked against the specified finish.

  6. Packing inspection

    The last check before the crate is closed.

Six points of control, not one final sign-off.

05 PACKING AND EXPORT

Prepared for
international delivery.

Between the yard and the site lies the road. The job of packing is simple: the stone must arrive exactly as it left inspection.
