The rest of the 4 mines use the latest controlled blasting technique which allows mineral extraction with minimum noise and vibration. forest departments, NGOs, and authorities. |
MM 11 Sustainability remains at the core of mining operations of ACL by way of applying ecologically sound mining and process technologies and adopting the best practices for prevention and control of emissions, effluents and wastes. The primary raw material for our operations is limestone which is sourced through our captive mines. The mining operations comply with applicable legal andother requirements as laid down by various concerned Govt. |
bodies viz IBM,
MoEF, SPCB, CGWB etc. Additionally,
safety norms laid down by Directorate
General of Mines Safety (DGMS) and
our internal safety standards are strictly
complied within day to day works.
The limestone excavation is carried out by highly mechanized, modern, open cast mining technology. |
The mining
method varies as per geographical
condition, nature of occurrence of the
deposit, geology of the area, physical
and chemical characteristics of the
mineral, topography, hydro-geology,
structural features and quantum of
waste material / soil to be handled. In Gujarat area, where the limestone is soft to moderately hard, we employ Surface Mining technology. |
