Abstract

This paper investigates the application of diamond wire saw (DWS) technology for the extraction of large marble blocks in open-pit quarries. Compared to conventional drilling and blasting or chain saw methods, DWS technology offers superior cutting precision, reduced material waste, lower noise levels, and significant cost savings. Field data collected from three marble quarries in Uzbekistan and Italy demonstrate that DWS systems reduce kerf loss by up to 62% and improve block recovery rates to over 94%. The study also presents operational parameters, cost-benefit analysis, and recommendations for large-scale adoption of this innovative technology in the Central Asian marble industry
