Activities of a Mine Surveyor and a Geologist at Design Bases in a Limestone Quarry

Abstract

Abstract At the beginning of this article, the main historical milestones of Povážská cementáreň (cement plant) Ladce, a.s. (PCLA) are presented. The main parameters of the Butkov quarry are also specified (sources of the mineral resources) such as the size of the protected deposit area, the mining area, etc. Another part of the article is devoted to proposals for future mining process. There are two projects in connection with the basic investment plan for PCLA modernization. The first one is the preparation of the survey area for limestone - the stages above the current E15 and the other one is the preparation of the survey area for marl - the Moskové locality. Both of these projects were realized in association with Považskň cementáreň, a.s., Ladce and VŠB - Technical University of Ostrava. An integral part of this article based on the project are also simulation of graphic models and diagrams. The last part of the article documents ways of the cooperation of Butkov Quarry and Považskň cementáreň, a.s., Ladce with the public. The management of the Butkov Quarry and Považskň cementáreň, a.s. have come to realize that their cooperation with the public on cultural and social activities helps both, the public and the quarry (include cement plant).
