Project detail:
The project has been proposed for mining of 1700 TPA of Sandstone by opencast semi-mechanized method. The mine lease area is 0.18 ha. Total water requirement is about 1.0 KLD = 0.25 KLD (Drinking & Domestic Uses) + 0.25 (Plantation) KLD +0.5 KLD (Dust Suppression). 2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region Rajasthan being the largest producer is an important sandstone producing state of India. It is an excellent building stone. This can be chiseled and dressed to a smooth surface in various attractive shapes. The sandstone has a verity of uses such as roofing, flooring, paving, paneling, beams, pillars, arches, doors and window sills, wall facing, fence posts, mile stones etc. It is especially useful for exterior cladding in sea shore buildings due to acid & thermal resistant properties. As such the effect of saline winds is negligible on sandstone. It is also suitable for use in chemical industries as flooring, wall fixing & lining due to its acid and alkali resistant properties. It is also suitable for carving and making windows and jallis. The sandstone is being quarried and used from centuries and a number of historical buildings and monuments such as Budhist Stupas of Sarnath, Red Fort, Sansad Bhawan, Rashtrapati Bhawan, and National Museum, Delhi; Chhitar Palace, Jodhpur etc. are made of sandstone.
