After being quarried it can be "roasted" in a revolving cylindrical "oven" to produce cement. Cement is in concrete and mortar, so the limestone has helped the construction of buildings and bridges. Indeed during the last World War there were even boats made from concrete. Limestone itself can be used as the foundation for road construction, and, like other types of stone, is used to construct stone buildings and stone walls. Lime and limestone are also used in many industrial and chemical processes.
