THE PROCESS

TheYard.

The sequence at Bijolia.

Raw blocks arrive from the quarry face. Finished crates leave for buyers nationwide and worldwide. Between those two points, the yard sorts, cuts, dresses, calibrates, checks, crates, labels, and documents the stone.

Dispatch

Source held through processing

The source village and variety lot follow the block from receiving area to finished crate.

Specification before dispatch

Format, surface, edge, thickness, and size are checked before the material leaves the yard.

Crates documented for export

Finished pieces are labelled, counted, packed, and documented before they leave the yard.

SIX CHECKPOINTS

From block arrivalto dispatch.

The yard sequence is designed for traceability and production clarity. Each checkpoint creates a decision record before material moves to the next station.

Arrival

PROCESS · 01

Arrival.

Raw blocks arrive from owned quarries and allied partner quarries. Each block is logged by source village, variety, and approximate weight.

Record

Source village · variety · block weight

Sorting

PROCESS · 02

Sorting.

Every block is inspected, graded, and chalk-marked by variety lot, then routed by what it will become — the hand line or the machine line. The route decides the cut.

Cutting & sizing

PROCESS · 03

Cutting & sizing.

Each format takes its own route. The hand line cuts and splits riven pavers, cobbles, flagstones, and roofing; the machine line — block cutter, bridge cutter, edge and profiling machines, and the gangsaw — squares slabs, tiles, sills, frames, kerbs, copings, and steps.

Record

Route · machine · size

Edge & surface

PROCESS · 04

Edge & surface.

Edges are taken straight off the machine, hand-dressed, or rockfaced. Surfaces range across natural, riven, sawn, honed, polished, flamed, sandblasted, brushed, and tumbled — worked to the specification the order calls for.

Calibration

PROCESS · 05

Calibration.

Most finished dimensional stone is run to an exact, consistent thickness. The hand-split, raw-block, and assembled lines pass straight through.

Record

Thickness · tolerance · batch

Crating & dispatch

PROCESS · 06

Crating & dispatch.

Finished pieces are inspected, counted, and packed into labelled crates carrying variety, format, thickness, surface, edge, quantity, and order reference — then dispatched, nationwide and worldwide.

YARD RECORDS

The record followsthe stone.

The Yard page is about custody, not catalogue browsing. Each checkpoint leaves a practical record: where the block came from, how it was routed, what finish was applied, how it was packed, and what was dispatched.
