Project
In the second phase of the Pearl Mosque we produced the stone consoles and curved mouldings for the exterior. The consoles were carved from single blocks by a robotic arm; the mouldings were machined piece by piece to size, laid out and checked in the factory, then crated for shipment.
Scope
Façade stone from a single block
Consoles, arch and dome mouldings carry the lines of the façade.
