GELD possesses a quarry area in Bosnia. The most spectacular object built of that quarry area is the UNESCO-heritage Stari Most the Old Bridge of Mostar. LGA Bautechnik GmbH laboratories /TÜV Rheinland Group/ were responsible for the material analysis for that bridge. LGA has a personal knowledge of the Mukosa plot owned by our company GELD.
After the site and document examination LGA confirmed that:
-the stone source of GELD exactly corresponds the Mukosa typical quality of stone types locally named Tenelija and Miljevina
-the stone quality and properties matches those of the stones used by LGA for the Old Bridge project
-the stones are adequate for building, decoration, carving and landscaping and any as-sociated architectonical use, subject to correct design works
-an adequate qualitative quarry operation is established in Mukosa delivering good stone quality
-quality assurance is possible for Tenelija and Miljevina blocks by easy understandable visual methods and the proper cut area in quarry wall are assessed visually for crack patterns etc. prior to stone extraction
-investigation works prior to site opening has been executed in well founded quality and profound local experience by engineers well known to LGA.
