Quarries

About the Quarries heading in Yellow™

Information on quarries can be found under this Yellow™ heading. Minerals and rocks are extracted from quarries or open pit mines. Rocks such as granite, china clay, cinder, gritstone, marble, sandstone, coquina, slate, volcanic rock, pyreness building stone and beaching are found in quarries. Gypsum, which is a mineral, is also extracted from quarries. These rocks and minerals are mainly used by construction companies. Therefore, many construction companies in Australia own quarries in order to have easy access to raw material for their projects.  Yellow™ will help you out in your search for different quarries in Australia.

There are many quarries in Australia that produce high quality concrete and asphalt aggregates and base and sub base for roads, which are made by blending crushed concrete with crushed natural stone. Based on the kind of rock found in these quarries, they provide material for civil and site work as well as for landscape products. Other quarry products include river aggregate, drainage basalt, river spalls, and basalt rocks, bedding sand, medium sand, top soil, organic soil and fill material. Decorative pebbles for indoors, outdoors, homes or offices are available in many vibrant colours, shapes and sizes such as white pebbles, bright pebbles, cream pebbles, mixed pebbles, crushed granite, scronia, rainbow rock and Seymour pebble.

These companies can provide technical assistance and advice about suitable building material and can even modify existing building material. They also undertake field investigation and assessment services. Natural resources are precious and in order to protect them from disappearing, quarry owners recycle the waste generated by their products. The recycled material is used for other products. Search with Yellow™ to find a range of quarries in all states in Australia.
