In road construction, stone is a crucial building material with a wide range of applications. Commonly used stones in engineering projects include granite, gneiss, diorite, sandstone, and limestone. However, the types of paving stones required can vary depending on the specific road construction. Below is an introduction to three different types of roads, the stones they require, and their processing methods.
A quarry is an operation dedicated to the extraction and processing of construction-grade sand and gravel. These sites are typically expansive, open-pit areas and are usually located in regions abundant in rock formations, often found in hilly or mountainous terrain.
