System Deliverables
Revolutionising Stone Quarrying with Automation
In-situ robotic quarrying systems that convert natural stone directly into construction-grade bricks at the quarry face. Our solution creates significant value capture financially, architecturally, and ecologically.
What We Deliver
Our Key Capabilities
In-Situ Robotic Quarrying
Robotic quarrying systems that convert in-situ natural stone directly into construction-grade bricks straight from the quarry face.
Fully Automated Processing
Automated masonry cutting, extraction, grading, sorting, cleaning and stacking ready to ship. Increases site efficiency by 215%.
High Volume Production
Production of 12,400 bricks per day (1 brick = $0.5 to $1), per machine, per 10m x 10m operation*.
Reduced Labour & Safety Risks
Automation dramatically reduces the need for on site skilled labour and safety concerns, reducing labour costs.
Ultra-Low Extraction Cost
Extraction cost becomes only electricity and blade ware. We estimate each brick will cost around 2 cents per brick only.
Sustainable Operations
Our system significantly reduces carbon emissions, transportation, the use of heavy machinery, and the use of complex supply chains.
Comparison
How We Compare
See how our automated system compares to traditional ceramic brick production and dimension stone quarrying.
Ceramic Brick Production
Drawbacks
- Large scale mining operations
- Transportation and lengthy supply chains
- Requires large specialist factories
- Costly and CO₂ intensive manufacturing process
- High barrier to entry
Traditional Stone Quarrying
Drawbacks
- Large scale quarrying operations
- Use of expensive specialist machinery
- Specialist cutting workshops
- Often low efficiency yields

Sustainability
Environmental Impact
Our system dramatically reduces carbon emissions, material waste, and operational costs.
CO₂ Emissions
Standard Brick
470g – 720g CO₂
Our System
3.25g CO₂
Using grid electricity
0g CO₂
Using on-site renewables
145-222x
Less CO₂ = 99% reduction
Material Waste
Traditional Quarries
20-30% yield
Our System
Up to 90% yield
Depending on geology
215%
Improved efficiency per unit area
Machinery & Labour
Does not need a substantial team to monitor and operate system
Does not need long term use of large machinery
One engineer
Site manager only required
Transportation
Traditional quarries extract, transport to saw yard, then transport again to retailer
We skip all unnecessary transport
Direct delivery
Quarry to construction site
Why Stone & Brick
Benefits of Our Approach
Natural stone combined with the familiar brick format offers the best of both worlds.
Benefits of Stone
- Align with governmental green policies
- Extremely long lifecycle material compared to timber and concrete
- Completely recyclable material
- Traditional and natural material that supports humane, aesthetic environments
- Lowest carbon material for extraction using our system
- Can be fashioned in any architectural way
- Material familiar to builders
- High insulation value
Benefits of Brick Format
- Construction systems worldwide rely on unit bricks
- Already completely integrated into supply and construction infrastructure
- Dimensions are familiar and workable for builders and machines
- Support aesthetic architectural cities
