New buildings of Turkmen cities will be provided with domestic granite and marble
Turkmenistan is developing the production of finishing construction products through the development of local deposits of non-metallic materials. The main raw material base of this industry is in Western Turkmenistan. The closed joint-stock company "Turkmenmramor" processes lime stones and blocks mined in these deposits, turning them into granite and marble slabs.
According to experts, granite and decorative stones quarried in the quarries of the Balkan region, due to their characteristics and colors, can be used for interior and exterior decoration of buildings of the highest level.
In addition, reddish-pink calcareous stones are almost 85% composed of calcium oxide, which makes it possible to establish the production of natural calcite, which is widely used in construction and construction materials.
One of the main factors that speak in favor of the development of the Turkmen industry of finishing products is rich raw materials. According to experts, the reserves of the Jaili limestone stone deposit near the city of Turkmenbashi are estimated at 5 million cubic meters of facing stones, the Duzmeregen deposit in the region of the city of Balkanabat - at 1.5 million cubic meters of limestone and the Shagadam granite-tuff site near the borders of the city of Turkmenbashi has granite reserves in 545 thousand cubic meters.
