Operation of gravel and sand pits; mining of clays and kaolin
NACE v2.0 Code: B08.12
About operation of gravel and sand pits; mining of clays and kaolin
NACE code 08.12 covers the operation of gravel and sand pits, as well as the mining of clays and kaolin. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and manufacturing sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications. The extraction and processing of these natural resources are vital to the broader economy, supporting infrastructure development, building construction, and various industrial processes.
Production process
The main production techniques in this industry involve the extraction of gravel, sand, clays, and kaolin from natural deposits. This is typically done through open-pit mining, where heavy machinery is used to excavate and remove the desired materials from the earth's surface. The extracted materials are then processed, which may include crushing, screening, and washing to meet specific size and quality requirements.
Production inputs
The key inputs for this industry include the natural deposits of gravel, sand, clays, and kaolin. Additionally, the industry relies on heavy machinery, such as excavators, loaders, and crushers, as well as fuel, electricity, and labor to power the extraction and processing operations.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of this industry are the processed gravel, sand, clays, and kaolin. These materials are then consumed by a variety of other industries, including 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.11 Construction of roads and motorways, 23.20 Manufacture of refractory products, and 23.70 Cutting, shaping and finishing of stone.
