A good volume of production of dimensional blocks, in several stone quarries, during the extraction process comes in a very delicate form with several fissures, cracks, and mineral intrusions. Such blocks are very difficult to handle in the quarries or at the factory, impacting the recoveries and profitability of both the quarrying and processing operations.​

To help improve the recoveries at the quarry head or yields at the factory it is important to reinforce the blocks professionally. There are several methods for block reinforcement depending on the nature of fissures, cracks, and their dimensions. The most popular methods of Block Reinforcement are:-​

• Traditional Block Reinforcement System
• Vacuum Block Reinforcement System

The objective of Block Reinforcement is to make the fractured natural stone block suitable for handling, transportation, and cutting using gang saws, multiwire, or block saws.​
