1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING

Managing a quarry site in Lagos presents distinct operational hurdles that directly impact your bottom line. Are you contending with the high cost and logistical delays of sourcing quality aggregates from distant suppliers? Is inconsistent feed material from local pits causing premature wear on your primary crusher and unpredictable final product gradation? Are your operational timelines extended by equipment downtime due to inadequate maintenance support in the region? These challenges translate into quantifiable losses: increased haulage expenses, unscheduled maintenance costs exceeding 15% of annual operating budgets, and production delays that jeopardize project contracts. Securing a reliable, highperformance quarry site in Lagos is not just about location—it’s a strategic decision for supply chain control, cost predictability, and project viability.

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

This offering pertains to the development and operation of strategically located, fully permitted quarry sites in Lagos. The operational workflow is engineered for commercial aggregate production:
1. Site Preparation & Benching: Clearing, grubbing, and establishing safe, accessible working benches according to geological survey data.
2. Drilling & Blasting (if applicable): Precision operations following strict safety and regulatory protocols to fragment bedrock.
3. Primary Crushing & Screening: Mobile or stationary crushers reduce extracted rock to manageable sizes, with initial screening for scalpings.
4. Secondary/Tertiary Processing & Sorting: Further crushing and screening circuits produce specific aggregate gradations (e.g., 3/4", 1/2", sharp sand).
5. Stockpiling & Dispatch: Sorted aggregates are stockpiled under cover or in open yards for quality preservation and efficient loading.
Application Scope: Supply of granite aggregates, crushed stone, and related materials for Lagos construction, road building, and concrete production.
Limitations: Operations are subject to state environmental regulations and zoning laws; sites are finite resources requiring phased extraction planning.

8. FAQ

What is the typical lead time from agreement to first aggregate production?
For sites with all permits secured and basic infrastructure present, first production can commence within 6090 days following mobilization of client's crushing plant.

How do you ensure consistent aggregate gradation across different blast sequences?
Our sites employ a controlled blasting plan managed by certified engineers, coupled with a processing circuit that includes postcrush screening decks. This allows for precise recirculation and blending to maintain NISspecified gradation bands.

Are these quarry sites suitable for setting up a permanent stationary crushing plant?
Yes. The sites are surveyed and prepared with stable platforms suitable for permanent plant foundations. Utility access points are established at designated locations.

What commercial model provides the best cost certainty for a largescale infrastructure project?
An exclusive offtake agreement typically offers the highest degree of cost certainty, locking in price per tonnage grade for the project duration while the operator manages all extraction risks.

Is technical training provided for our personnel on sitespecific geology and safety protocols?
Yes. A mandatory site induction covering geology, safety zones, emergency procedures, and material flow is provided by our operations team prior to any client activity commencement
