Manufacture of clay building materials
NACE v2.0 Code: C23.3
About manufacture of clay building materials
NACE code 23.3 covers the manufacture of clay building materials, a crucial industry that supplies essential construction materials for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, providing the raw materials needed to build homes, offices, schools, roads, and other vital structures that support economic growth and development.
Production process
The manufacture of clay building materials typically involves several key steps. First, the raw clay is extracted from natural deposits and transported to the production facility. The clay is then crushed, mixed, and extruded or molded into the desired shapes, such as bricks, tiles, or roofing materials. These clay products are then dried and fired in high-temperature kilns to harden and strengthen them. Finally, the finished products are inspected, packaged, and prepared for distribution.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the manufacture of clay building materials are the natural clay deposits that serve as the raw material. In addition, this industry requires specialized machinery and equipment for the extraction, processing, and firing of the clay. Energy sources, such as natural gas or electricity, are also essential for powering the kilns and other production equipment.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the clay building materials industry are a variety of products, including bricks, tiles, roofing materials, and other construction components. These outputs are then consumed by the 41.2 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.1 Construction of roads and railways, and 43.3 Building completion and finishing, among other NACE codes within the broader construction sector.
