Production Capacity
In the quarries as a whole, we reach a monthly production of 1,000 m3 per month. This capacity is largely due to the investment in equipment suitable for the extraction of large blocks (30 ton).
Our processing capacity is complemented by a strong extraction capacity. We are permanently exploring three granite quarries from which the Amarelo Real, Branco Micaela and Cinza Penalva varieties are extracted.
The gradual investment in new technologies and new methodologies allows us to work more efficiently, safely and with less impact on the environment.

Operating our own quarries allows us to ensure greater autonomy and independence from external suppliers of raw materials.
In this way, we are able to have total control over the quality of the blocks extracted and the management of delivery times, with clear advantages for our customers.
We maintain a strong investment in measures that make the activity more attractive and safer for workers, while seeking to minimize the inherent environmental impact.
The added cost of implementing these innovative measures and processes is largely outweighed by their long-term benefits, both in attracting and retaining qualified professionals and in maintaining environmental sustainability.
Gradual minimization of the use of explosive substances.
With the use of diamond wire cutting equipment for cutting benches and stone blocks, the handling of explosives by workers is avoided, and they are also no longer subject to the effect of the respective explosions. This method also prevents the emission of dust caused by drilling.
Gradual elimination of manual and pneumatic drilling.
Using hydraulic drilling equipment with water added to the holes, it is possible to avoid the harmful effects of hand-arm vibration, the potential risk of silica inhalation and the consequent emission of dust into the environment.
Branco Micaela extraction Quarry
This is where Branco Micaela is extracted, a very homogeneous, fine-grained granite. It is a high production quarry, with estimated reserves for over 30 years.
Amarelo Real extraction Quarry
This is where Amarelo Real is extracted, a medium/fine grained, warm colored granite. It is a hillside quarry, with only 3 years of activity and estimated reserves for more than 40 years.
Cinza Penalva extraction Quarry
This is where the Cinza Penalva, a bluish gray granite, is extracted. It's a quarry that is located in the municipality of Penalva do Castelo, district of Viseu, with reserves estimated to last more than 40 years.
