Capabilities
Stevin
Rock own and operate three Quarries in the Emirate of Ras Al
Khaimah, producing Gabbro and Limestone aggregates, core, and
armour.
To
this end Stevin Rock has invested very considerable
sums of money in the purchase of equipment for the winning,
selection, and processing aggregate and armour.
A
progressive corporate policy ensures a high level of both equipment
maintenance and capital replacement of worn plant. The extensive
and sophisticated repair facilities have a staff of approximately
80 during periods of double shift operations and a well stocked
warehouse of spare parts (value in excess of DH. 5,000,000.00)
which are not readily available locally ensures rapid repair
of equipment.
Stevin
Rock follows a policy of regular employee training and,
where appropriate, job advancement. This coupled with
the policy of retaining large numbers of key personnel during
periods of economic inactivity ensures the retention of a high
level of operational knowledge. This is essential to achieve
the rapid increases in production demanded with the commencement
of sizeable breakwater projects.
The quarry, equipment and machinery levels, access roads, selection
yards, stockpiling areas and harbour are designed to ensure
a production level capability of 7 millon tonnes of aggregate
and in excess of 1 millon tonnes of armour per year, This
production level is sustainable over a considerable period.
In
order to further ensure dependability of rock supply, Stevin
Rock built its own 3 berth all weather harbour which is dredged
to a depth of 6.5m ACD to enable entry of barges up to
20,000 tonnes cargo capacity.
The berths are equipped with static ramp systems enabling
the loading of barges from 2,000 to 20,000 tonnes cargo capacity
at all stages of the tide.
