USGS’ Top Aggregate Producers List

 
USGS’ Top Aggregate Producers List

The U.S. Geological Survey ranks the top 25 aggregate companies according to 2001 production numbers.

By Valentin V. Tepordei and Feri Naghdi

Based on information reported to the U.S. Geological Survey quarterly sample survey, it was estimated that a total of 2.8 billion metric tons of aggregates — 1.7 billion metric tons of crushed stone and 1.1 billion metric tons of construction sand and gravel — were produced and shipped for consumption in the United States in 2001. The quarterly sample survey collects information by company and state only, and not by individual operation.
A total of 328 companies and subsidiaries representing large- and medium-sized producers operating crushed stone quarries and construction sand and gravel pits in 48 states reported to the quarterly survey during 2001. Only those companies are listed in this directory.
The three tables list the top 25 U.S. companies producing aggregates, crushed stone, and construction sand and gravel. The ranking of companies in these tables was based on the total production-for-consumption provided by the companies.
