Description

Join us for a tour of the historic Falling Springs Quarry, operated by Casper Stolle Quarry & Contracting Company, a family-owned business with roots in the mining industry dating back to 1852. This Metro East facility is a subsidiary of the original company, acquired in 1986, and has been family-run for five generations.

From its early days of horse-drawn transport to a fully automated secondary plant completed in 1998, this quarry reflects both the rich heritage and advanced technology of modern quarrying. Today, the site operates unmanned on second shift and includes a comprehensive production lineup featuring fractionation, sand, and a high-capacity primary plant. The most recent addition, a primary crusher station, boasts an impressive output of 2,500 tons per hour, supported by 30,000 tons of live storage capacity.
