Mining Crushed Stone Processing Technology
Mining Crushed Stone Processing Technology
Mining crushed stone differs from mining sand and gravel because the bedrock, in most situations, must first be drilled and blasted. The technology of blasting rock is highly developed and regulated. Holes are drilled into the rock and are partially filled with explosives. The top portion of the hole is filled with nonexplosive material (usually sand, crushed stone, or a manufactured plug) that is referred to as stemming. The explosive in each hole is initiated with detonators that create delay periods between blasts in individual holes. The total blast commonly lasts only a fraction of a second and consists of many smaller individual blasts separated by delays of a few thousandths of a second.
Controlled sequential blasting commonly breaks the rock into pieces suitable for crushing. If the rubble is too large, secondary breaking may be required and usually is accomplished with hydraulic hammers (Fig. 16b), drop balls, or other mechanical devices. The blasted material is dry and can be extracted by using conventional earth-moving equipment, such as bulldozers, front loaders, back hoes, and hydraulic excavators.

Rock quarries that do not penetrate the water table and sites where groundwater naturally drains from the quarry commonly are mined dry. Where quarries penetrate the water table, they commonly are dewatered by collecting and pumping the groundwater. The rock is then mined by the same procedures used in a dry quarry. In some geologic terrains, such as limestone in areas of shallow groundwater, the flow of groundwater into the quarry exceeds the rate at which it can be drained. In those areas, the quarries are allowed to fill with water. The rock is drilled and blasted, and the rubble is extracted using draglines, clamshells, or other equipment.
Crushed stone is extracted from about 100 underground quarries in the United States. Most of these quarries, which are located in the central United States, produce limestone or dolomite. After quarrying has been completed, the underground spaces provide opportunities for future use, such as warehouses, offices, retail stores, and manufacturing.
