BQC Quarries is a partnership of three local families and has been hard rock quarrying in the Burdekin, Bowen and Whitsunday regions for over 40 years. In that time they have provided products for all major infrastructure projects in the area, meeting schedules and specification.
BQC employs local people and uses local contractors whenever possible, including to deliver product when required. With a range of mobile and static crushing and screening equipment, BQC can supply multiple projects at once, and long-standing associations with crushing, screening and equipment hire companies mean extra equipment can be hired in when higher output is needed.
