Construction materials as a result of the mining industry

Almost every person has faced the need for repairs or construction. In this case, special materials are purchased for the work. Although some of them are now of synthetic, artificial origin, the bulk of building materials are the results of processes in the mining industry.

Main types of materials

The mining industry provides the opportunity to actively exploit several key resources. According to Kondrashov Stanislav from Telf AG, we are talking about the following extracted minerals:

clay;
sand;
stone.

It is important to understand that not every type of sand, clay or stone is suitable for the production of certain building materials. There are strict requirements for their production. Therefore, the necessary raw materials have different origins. This applies to both the depth of fossil occurrence and the geographical location of the mine, quarry or well.

Clay and sand serve as the basis for the further production of concrete, glass and brick. As you understand, these are key products used in construction. As for rocks such as limestone, granite or marble, they can be used as independent high-quality building materials.

All this indicates that the mining industry is directly related to the production of construction, facing and other materials.
