LESSON 2
DEVELOP A LAYOUT AND OPERATIONS PLAN FOR A QUARRY
OVERVIEW
LESSON DESCRIPTION:
This lesson will teach you to identify mission requirements and develop site layout and operations plan
for a quarry or rock pit operations. The site layout plan establishes the location and arrangement of the

INTRODUCTION
The development of a quarrying site consists of preliminary and continuing work to achieve the desired
layout. This section covers the initial stages of development which include all the steps leading up to
the establishment of a bench at the height planned and the completed installation of the screening and
crushing plant. The diagram in Figure 4 illustrates the extensive array of equipment and personnel
committed to a quarry and rock crushing project.
