The extraction of Pietra della Lessinia is a complex and meticulously planned process, beginning with a critical first step:
This step involves removing the topsoil and unusable rock layers that lie above the desired stone strata. The removed material, consisting of soil, debris, and rock, is preserved for later use in environmental reclamation projects.
Once uncovering is complete, the stone layer designated for extraction is reached. The process then proceeds layer by layer, a method designed to optimize material use and maintain its quality.
Each layer is carefully analyzed, and diamond saw machines are used to make precise orthogonal cuts, producing slabs of the highest regularity. These clean cuts prevent unwanted fractures and eliminate natural imperfections, such as low-quality veins or cracks.
The selective, precise approach minimizes waste, removing only defective portions of the material and ensuring the maximum recovery of intact stone blocks. This methodology is essential to guarantee a high-quality final product and optimize the extraction yield.
Once the quarry reaches its operational limits, the reclamation phase begins. The material removed during the uncovering stage is used to fill the excavated area, reshaping the terrain to restore it to a natural state.
This recovery process is carefully planned to return the landscape to a condition of grassland or native vegetation, harmoniously blending with the surrounding environment.
Reclamation is not just a mandatory environmental practice but an opportunity to revitalize the land, reducing visual impact and restoring the ecological balance of the area. This ensures the quarrying activity not only supplies premium material but does so while respecting the environment, returning a sustainable and reusable territory to local communities.
