Quarrying and environmental remediation
Environmentally-friendly quarrying
Fassa Bortolo directly operates quarries to extract limestone and gypsum - essential raw materials in the composition of its products - using state-of-the-art technologies and techniques focused on respecting the local territory and worker health, environmental remediation and reuse of the quarry area at the end of operations. The quarrying operations are designed to ensure equilibrium in terms of geomorphology, hydrogeology and the landscape, and consequently minimise the impact on the local environment. The dust and noise produced during processing are constantly measured, so as to ensure quality of both the working and outside environment at all times. Fassa operates both opencast quarries, which are worked progressively downwards in horizontal levels, with each level being immediately remediated once the material has been extracted, and underground crushing of the stone to reduce use of transport vehicles.
