The Valberg quarry is located at the Valberg peninsula in the community of Krageroe, on the south-eastern coast of Norway.
The rock in the quarry of Valberg is Hyperit, a blue/black, medium to fine-grained rock with high density (3,01). Hyperit contains no quarts or any other harmful heavy metal.
The quarry is located at sea and has its own quays; one for loading aggregates and one for loading rock armor. The location is ideal for serving both the Baltics as well as northern and western Europe.
Aggregates for asphalt – its strength, stickiness and toughness makes it well suited as an asphalt aggregate. The result is an asphalt with prolonged life-span.
