Quick Answer
SGS enforces rigorous, five-point quality control metrics validating slab thickness, gloss reflection, and shipping safety at Jigani.
In-Depth Overview
Slabs are loaded vertically on custom-built heavy-duty wooden frames or metal A-frames. They are never transported flat, as vertical storage allows the stone to absorb road vibrations without cracking. Slabs are locked in place with rubber-padded transit ratchets. For bulk exports or long-distance Indian dispatches, we use heat-treated, certified wooden crates.
Advantages
- ✓Strict thickness calipers check at 20mm/30mm corners.
- ✓Laser alignment checks for slab flatness and zero-warp certification.
- ✓Sequenced block grouping to guarantee pattern flow.
Considerations
- •Rigorous selection filters out up to 90% of lower grade quarried slabs.
