A Yarraman business has won a large contract to supply material to the Black Creek Dam diversion project currently underway at Tarong power station.<\/p>\n

Yarraman Quarry is supplying about 13,000 tonnes of road base in two grades which will be used to form an inspection road alongside the channel.<\/p>\n

The road base they are supplying is a chert-type rock with quartzite which must meet strict Department of Main Roads specifications.<\/p>\n

Quarry owner Leon Gersekowski submitted a quote to York Civil, who are constructing the channel, and was very happy when he got the go ahead.<\/p>\n

“Road base is the bread and butter of this quarry,” he said.<\/p>\n

Yarraman Quarry employs three full-time and one casual worker.<\/p>\n

It has been kept busy recently supplying material to construction contractors CMC and FKG who have been repairing roads in the South Burnett and Toowoomba council areas.<\/p>\n

As well as road base, Yarraman Quarry also offers a \u00a0range of products, including feature gravel, drainage stone, boulders and sealing clay.<\/p>\n
