Gravel and crushed stone, already linked to every property.
NGU's Gravel and Crushed Stone Database: information on almost all gravel and crushed stone deposits and extraction sites in Norway for use as raw material in building and construction. Geodata AS distributes it to Placepoint.
What the dataset contains
Gravel and crushed stone in Placepoint
NGU's Gravel and Crushed Stone Database: information on almost all gravel and crushed stone deposits and extraction sites in Norway for use as raw material in building and construction. Geodata AS distributes it to Placepoint. The database also covers land use, volume, quality and how important each deposit is as raw material for construction purposes.
After water, gravel and crushed stone are the most widely used building materials, and local supply often decides whether a development project pays. If you are a developer, the dataset helps you assess transport distance to quarries and avoid conflict with known extraction sites when you plan neighbouring areas. Deposits with high resource value can trigger consideration zones in zoning plans. Part of Placepoint's map layers for Geology and Business.

Datasets often read together
Bedrock, derived maps, NiN
Derived bedrock maps from NGU for Natur i Norge: forecast for lime content in the bedrock and the extent of ultramafic rocks.
About the datasetBedrock N250
The map data is mainly based on the national printed bedrock geology map series at a scale of 1:250,000, and has since been harmonised across map sheet boundaries and updated with newer map data.
About the datasetBedrock N50
The maps are built on a combined interpretation of field observations, geophysical data, digital elevation models and aerial photos, along with analyses of collected samples.
About the datasetMining rights
Areas covered by mining rights for state-owned minerals under the Minerals Act: exploration rights (UN) and extraction rights (UT).
About the datasetDrill cores
NGU's drill core archive: places where drill cores have been taken for bedrock, natural stone, metals and industrial minerals.
About the datasetGeochemistry
NGU's national geochemical database: field samples of loose masses, stream sediments and water with analysed elements, and measurement points with geochemical measurements.
About the datasetHow often is gravel and crushed stone updated?
Monthly. The frequency follows the source and is shown on the dataset in Placepoint.
Where does the data come from?
From Geodata AS. We collect and quality-check the data and place it on the correct property, with source and date on every field.
How do I see gravel and crushed stone on a property?
Look up the address in Fusion and turn on the Geology map layer. The dataset is there as its own layer, and the details appear in the property panel when you click on the map.
Can I get the dataset programmatically?
Yes. The same data is available in Placepoint API and in Placepoint AI through MCP, so you can bring it into your own systems and agents.
