Tiivistelmä
This thesis unveiled a state of the art technical model for stone mining with a business environment and financial analysis that will aid a successful transfer of the diamond wire technology in stone mining. The purpose of the project was to bridge the gap between Ghana stone mining industry with the use of traditional methods and the use of modern technologies in the developed world for economic growth.
In Africa, mining and construction industry is at its slowest pace due to lack of developing sustainable technologies to revamp the industries in all business sectors to stimulate national economies. Ghana is endowed with significant deposits of natural stones that are extensively used for architectural purposes around the world but lack of state of the art technologies and methodologies are hindering this business potential to be realized.
It is based on never ending situation of adhering to old traditional systems with no signs of recovery to bridge gaps to newer technologies glint the idea behind this research to transfer a modern technology used in mining stones from Finska Stenindustri AB (Suomen Kiviteollisuus Oy) in Finland. This project aims at modelling a business operation for the technological implementation in Ghana to meet the project goal.
