Cement raw materials: Production and mining sites
This dataset provides information on cement raw material sites in Switzerland, covering both active and decommissioned production and mining locations. Cement is a key component in concrete manufacturing, one of the most widely used construction materials in Switzerland and worldwide. The dataset offers a national overview of limestone and marl occurrences used as raw materials for cement production, documenting where extraction has taken place historically and where it continues today. It is published by the Swiss Federal Office of Topography (swisstopo) and supports planning, resource management, and geological research related to the construction materials industry in Switzerland.”}Cement is a fundamental component for the manufacturing of concrete, one of the most widely used construction materials in Switzerland and around the world. This dataset shows the production and mining sites in operation and decommissioned. A national overview of the limestone and marl occurrences,…
