With globalisation and the present economic challenges a reality, the quarrying sector needs to acquire the latest knowledge on environmental-friendly and state-of-the-art technology to stay competitive whilst maintaining the growth momentum of this important industrial sector for a sustainable tomorrow. The quarrying industry has always been acknowledged worldwide as the foundation in the design and the construction of various innovative structures, infrastructures and amenities aimed towards global sustainability and society enhancement. This economic sector is thus the vital catalyst and component of any country worldwide striving for industrialised and developed nation status.
