Rock Asia Company

Rock Asia Company is located over at E-195 in the Bidiyad Industrial Area. It’s a fairly straightforward setup here. We have a lot of different stones coming through the gates every week. The ground is covered in white dust from all the cutting and polishing that goes on in this part of town. You can hear the saws running from down the street, which is the soundtrack to our daily lives. We spend our mornings organizing the yard and making sure the walkways between the stone stacks are clear enough for people to walk through. Bidiyad is a place where everyone is doing something related to stone, so there’s a lot of talk about quarrying and transport whenever the neighbors stop by. Our building is practical, built to withstand the weight and the weather. We keep a few samples near the entrance so people can see the colors without walking through the whole yard, but most folks like to see the full slabs. We handle the paperwork in a small corner office that stays relatively cool. It’s not a fancy life, but it keeps us busy from sunrise to sunset. The trucks are always coming and going, bringing in raw blocks or taking finished slabs out to be used in buildings somewhere else. The workers usually have their tea breaks under the shade of the back wall where it's a bit quieter.
