Crushed-rock aggregates: Production and mining sites

This dataset shows the extraction and production sites of crushed-rock aggregates in Switzerland (in operation or decommissioned). Together with natural, uncrushed-rock aggregates, crushed-rock aggregates are the most used construction raw material in Switzerland and worldwide. In particular they are used for the production of concrete. Given their importance for the national transportation infrastructure, the production and mining sites of hard rock aggregates are displayed in a separated dataset (<a href=" https://map.geo.admin.ch/?layers=ch.swisstopo.geologie-hartsteinabbau&topic=georessourcen" target="_blank">Hartstein: Produktions- und Abbaustandorte</a> ). For detailed information on mining activities, please contact the relevant cantonal authorities. This dataset is periodically updated and does not claim to be exhaustive.
