Guide to constructing clay stockpiles
A clay stockpile is constructed with the aims of opening up the raw materials, to keep clays available near production in critical times of the year and to homogenize different raw material grades within the pit. The successful construction of a clay stockpile is crucially influenced by water and the care taken in handling the raw materials. As the result, the highest possible raw material quality should be made available for production.
