Cooperation to explore marble sector in pakistan
TUSDEC and PASDEC will explore the opportunities for cooperation to introduce new technologies in the Pakistans marble sector.
The Technology Upgradation and Skill Development Company (TUSDEC) and Pakistan Stone Development Company (PASDEC) will explore the opportunities for cooperation to introduce new technologies in the marble sector, especially those related to quarry development, mining, cutting and polishing.
Despite the fact that Pakistan has one of the world's largest reserves of marble and granite, the country has not been able to carve out a niche in the international market. About 80 percent of marble in Pakistan is wasted due to blasting and lack of proper facilities. The use of modern technology, according to a study, can help reduce the losses by 45 percent.
PASDEC officials evinced keen interest in TUSDEC's plans to establish the Peshawar Engineering Support Centre (PESC) and suggested that this facility could be helpful in replacing the existing obsolete technologies in the marble sector with the new ones.
It was also suggested that a Common Facility Centre (CFC) be set up in Balochistan with the help of the TUSDEC for manufacturing marble mosaic by utilising the marble waste.
The PASDEC team was of the view that the country's stones sector could benefit from TUSDEC facilities like Cement Research and Development Institute (CR&DI) for the testing of various stones especially limestone.
