Golden Rock Investment and Construction Co., a Chinese company with local operations, is preparing to make a significant impact on Guyana’s construction industry with the upcoming launch of its new quarry.
Scheduled to begin operations in September at Lanabali, Essequibo Island West Demerara, this development is set to meet the growing demand for construction materials in the country.
Mike Wu, Managing Director of Golden Rock Investment and Construction, announced at the recent Building Expo that the new quarry will be the largest in Guyana.
With a projected annual production capacity ranging from two million to five million tonnes, the quarry is poised to become a major player in the construction sector.
The substantial output from the quarry is expected to support Guyana’s rapid infrastructure development by providing a steady supply of high-quality quarry materials.
In addition to quarrying operations, the company has established a dedicated wharf facility, enhancing its logistics and distribution capabilities.
This infrastructure will facilitate efficient delivery of products to construction sites across the country, ensuring timely and smooth supply.
Golden Rock’s entry into the market is anticipated to alleviate existing supply constraints and reduce costs associated with quarry materials.
As Guyana continues to experience a construction boom with numerous residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects underway, the company’s operations will play a crucial role in sustaining the momentum of the sector.
The quarry was one of the newest exhibitors at the recently concluded International Building Exposition, highlighting its commitment to supporting Guyana’s construction industry.
