1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING

Are you managing a quarry operation in Lagos and facing persistent bottlenecks that erode your margins? The challenges of sourcing consistent, highquality aggregate in this demanding market are significant. Common operational hurdles include:
Inconsistent Feed Material: Unreliable thirdparty aggregate suppliers can lead to variable rock sizes and compositions, causing crusher jams, excessive wear, and unpredictable final product gradation.
Logistical Fragility and Cost: Dependence on external haulage for primary crushed stone subjects your plant to traffic delays, fuel price volatility, and supplier scheduling conflicts, directly impacting throughput and project timelines.
Quality Control Compromise: Without direct oversight of the primary crushing stage, ensuring the optimal feed size and contamination control for your secondary and tertiary processing circuits becomes difficult, risking specification noncompliance.
Hidden Cost of Downtime: Every hour your stationary plant waits for feed material represents a direct loss in potential revenue and underutilized capital investment.

How do you secure a reliable, costcontrolled feed source? Is bringing primary crushing inhouse a viable strategy for your Lagos operation? A dedicated custom quarry site may be the critical link in stabilizing your entire production chain.

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW: CUSTOM QUARRY SITE DEVELOPMENT

A custom quarry site is not merely a land lease; it is a tailored, turnkey mineral extraction operation designed to feed your specific asphalt, concrete, or construction aggregate plant. We provide endtoend development, from geological assessment to operational handover, creating a captive raw material source.

Operational Workflow:
1. Site Assessment & Feasibility: Geological surveying and reserve analysis to confirm material quality and volume on a leased or purchased land parcel.
2. Permitting & Regulatory Compliance: Navigation of Lagos State regulatory requirements for extraction licenses, environmental impact assessments (EIA), and community relations.
3. Engineered Site Development: Systematic design of haul roads, bench geometry, drainage, drilling/blasting patterns (if applicable), and primary crushing station placement.
4. Primary Processing Installation: Deployment of a primary jaw or impact crusher setup sized to deliver the required feed gradation to your main plant.
5. Operational RampUp & Training: Commissioning and training of onsite personnel for safe, efficient quarry management linked to your processing schedule.

Application Scope & Limitations:
Scope: Ideal for mediumtolarge asphalt mixing plants, readymix concrete facilities, and largescale construction projects requiring guaranteed longterm aggregate supply within Lagos and surrounding states.
Limitations: Requires significant upfront capital commitment and timeline (618 months). Not suitable for very smallvolume users or projects with immediate material needs. Site viability is contingent upon confirmed mineral deposits.

6. APPLICATION SCENARIOS

Asphalt Production Plant Challenge

Challenge A major asphalt producer in Ikorodu faced daily disruptions due to late aggregate deliveries from multiple suppliers,causing batch plant stoppages and failure to meet hotmix delivery windows.

Solution Development of a dedicated custom quarry site within a controlled haul distance,fitted with a primary jaw crusher set to produce consistent basesized aggregate.

Results Plant utilization increased from ~65% to over 90%. Fuel consumption per ton produced dropped by 22%. The company gained the ability to schedule production around optimal paving hours rather than supplier availability.

LargeScale Infrastructure Project

Challenge A contractor for a new Lagos highway segment needed guaranteed aggregate supply for concrete works but found market prices fluctuating wildly over the project's planned duration.

Solution Implementation of a projectspecific custom quarry site along the corridor.Site designed for rapid deployment with modular crushing equipment matching the project's total material requirement.

Results Eliminated supply chain risk,locking in over ₦250M in projected cost savings versus market rates.The site also generated surplus material sold to nearby projects creating an additional revenue stream.
