|  The
Virtual Quarry is brought to you by the Quarry Products Association
(QPA)
The project has been substantially
supported by the Mineral Industry Research Organisation (MIRO).
MIRO distributes funding that comes from a government tax
on aggregates through its Mineral Industry Sustainable Technology
Programme.
The Quarry Products Association is the trade association
for companies involved in supplying stone from land, marine
and recycled sources. Its members are also involved in the
production of asphalt for our roads and ready-mixed concrete,
which is the world’s most widely used building material.
Other activities covered by the QPA include production of
silica sand for industrial uses, lime for farming and industry,
mortar for bonding brocks and slag, which is a substitute
for cement.
The Quarry Products Association would
like to acknowledge the support of the following in this project:
'Website' and '3D Virtual Environment' design and construction:
Dreamsellers.
'Writing' and 'project coordination': Daybreak
Communications. |
