Basalt, tuff and travertine are exported from our country mainly to neighbouring Georgia and the Russian Federation. These stones used in construction are in demand because they are of high quality and easy to use.

Travertine is a type of porous mountain stone. It is white in its pure, raw state. There are also ivory, milky, walnut, golden shades. The difference in colours is caused by the iron content in the stone.

Basalt is the most common igneous rock. Externally, basalt is a dense, dark stone, mostly dark grey or black. In construction, this stone is used for various purposes. It is most commonly crushed and used for road surfacing, concrete aggregate, asphalt road surfacing, filter stone in drainage fields, and many other purposes.

The tuff stone characteristic of our country is stronger than brick. The tuff is formed by the ash and pumice fired from volcanic eruptions. This is the reason for the main advantage of tuff: light weight, fragility and many colour shades. One of the advantages of tuff is that it is homogeneous and it is possible to obtain smooth and even rectangular pieces from it. This stone is in demand especially because it gives a unique look to the exterior decoration of buildings.

Trucks are usually used to export these stones from Armenia. In general, trucks are convenient means of transporting quarry or construction stones. One of the reasons is that stones are easier and faster to load in trucks.

Of course, there are several rules to remember when transporting stones. For example, will the body of the truck withstand the weight of the stones? There are trucks capable of transporting up to 3 and a half tons of construction stones, but not all trucks. Therefore, it is desirable to understand the capacity of the truck body in advance.

By the way, in big cities, there are even laws that when transporting construction stones, they must be covered with tents or other cloths. In order not to create dust and pollute the environment.
