Production
Most crushed stone is produced in quarries. Instead of being shaped or formed naturally, such as in a riverbed or canyon, crushed stone is produced through mechanical processes.
So what does this stone-crushing process look like?
It begins with a rock crusher in a place where there are plenty of large rocks, such as at a quarry. There are many types of crushers, but their main job is the same: Crush larger rocks into smaller pieces to be used for construction material.
The crushed stone then goes through different screeners to be organized and stored in different piles according to their size. The screening process starts by removing larger stones, then medium stones, and eventually goes all the way down to the stone dust.
This screening is important because most contractors need specific types of crushed stone to complete different types of projects. For example, you don’t want large stones in ready-mix concrete, and you don’t want stone dust in drainage systems.
After being sorted into different piles depending on the size of the stone, the stone is ready to be shipped from the quarry. Quarries deliver directly to job sites, to concrete plants, or to wholesale distributors who sell the stone through retail to customers.
You can even purchase bags of stone, whether it is for construction or decoration, from your local hardware store.
Has crushed stone always been used widely for construction? No…
Crushed stone did not become a staple in construction until after World War 2 when inventors created the equipment needed to crush and move stone efficiently.
Because large stones and quarries are hard on tires, crushed stone was challenging to make and transport until heavy machinery with tracks arrived on the scene. WW2 expedited the development of this type of machinery, and crushed stone began to be used widely in construction projects in the 1940s and 1950s.
Large-scale building projects, particularly in infrastructure like the Eisenhower Interstate System, helped usher in an era where crushed stone was used in almost every part of construction. Foundations, concrete, drainage systems, railroad ballast, and roads suddenly all required large quantities of crushed stone.
