Kivimursketta

Kivimursketta, a Finnish term, translates to crushed stone or aggregate. It is a granular material composed of fragments of rock that are produced by crushing larger rocks. The size of the fragments can vary significantly depending on the intended use, ranging from fine dust to larger, coarse pieces.

The production of kivimursketta typically involves mechanical crushing of various types of rock, such as granite, basalt, limestone, or recycled concrete. The crushing process breaks down the rock into smaller, more manageable particles. Following the crushing, screening and classification processes are often employed to separate the material into different size fractions.

Kivimursketta is a widely used material in construction and civil engineering. Its primary applications include use as a base layer for roads, railways, and building foundations, providing stability and drainage. It is also utilized in concrete mixtures, asphalt pavements, and as decorative landscaping material. The specific type of rock and the gradation of the kivimursketta are chosen based on the engineering requirements of the project. Its durability, strength, and ability to compact make it an essential component in many infrastructure projects.
