The most important raw materials for making cement are limestone, clay, and marl. These are extracted from quarries by blasting or by ripping using heavy machinery. Wheel loaders and dumper trucks transport the raw material to the crushing installations. There the rock is broken down to roughly the size used in road metalling.

Throughout the extraction process the type and quality of the clay is monitored by Quarry Operators, in co-operation with the Works Quality Control Laboratory. At any one time the mining of some 40 to 50 different seams of clay may be taking place in various parts of the Bovey Basin, necessitating an equivalent number of storage bays.

Abstract. A quarry is an area from which rocks such as marble, limestone, and granite are extracted for industrial use. Once depleted of their desired resources, quarries are frequently abandoned. The resulting gaping holes can fill with water and form dangerous quarry lakes while others are turned into unsightly landfills.

Clay mining left significant marks on the English landscape. Rain has since collected in many of the abandoned pits, forming ponds of various shades of blue (dependent on the amount of suspended clay minerals). Also, each ton of clay extracted from the ground resulted in multiple tons of waste products, which were piled in spoil tips.
