Marble and other calcareous monumental or building stone
CPC v2.1 Code: 1512
About marble and other calcareous monumental or building stone
cpc code 1512 covers the extraction and processing of marble and other calcareous monumental or building stone. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and architecture sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of projects, from residential buildings to large-scale public infrastructure. As a key component of the broader mining and quarrying industry, the 1512 code represents a significant contributor to the overall economy.
Production process
The production of marble and other calcareous monumental or building stone typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw material is extracted from quarries or mines using heavy machinery and explosives. The extracted blocks are then transported to processing facilities, where they undergo various cutting, shaping, and polishing techniques to create the desired finished products. Advanced technologies, such as computer-controlled cutting and automated polishing, have helped to streamline the production process and improve the quality and consistency of the final products.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the 1512 industry include the raw calcareous stone, such as marble, limestone, and travertine, as well as specialized mining and quarrying equipment, including excavators, loaders, and cutting tools. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including geologists, mining engineers, and stone masons, to ensure the efficient and safe extraction and processing of the raw materials.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the 1512 industry are finished marble and other calcareous monumental or building stone products, which are used in a variety of construction and architectural applications. These products may include blocks, slabs, tiles, and custom-made architectural elements. The output of the 1512 industry is often consumed by other industries, such as 4100 Construction of buildings, 4200 Civil engineering, and 4330 Building completion and finishing, which use these materials in their projects.
