Quarry mining

Abstract

This project is a theoria and empirical summary of a real gravel mine. We use the theorical methods of the quarry knowledge, to describe a real gravel pit. This is the base of the first part of the project, where we describe: the geology, investigation and mining design. Here we pick the most relevant methods and processes of each part. Trying to explain how they are usually done. Secondly, in the environmental part we evaluated: the environment, the impacts generated due to the mine, the land reclamation, the muds in a theoretical view, vegetation and fauna and the land reclamation. Owing to this, the second part is the contrary of the frist one, we use the empirical part to develope the theoretical area. Furthermore, the gravel quarry still working, so we have being evolving the project as the mine did. Thirdly, we find a little example of some prices as if were from the real mine. Here we show that a good rehabilitation is not cheap, but necessary indeed. So, this project shows how to take care of the needs of a gravel quarry based on a real one. But also explain an exceptional rehabilitation, showing that the mine is not against the nature.
