The purpose of this study was to investigate the technology of granular ceramic aggregate based on clay of Atyrau deposit, with a focus on improving the mechanical and thermal properties of concrete to achieve best efficiency and sustainability in construction. The methods employed in this study included chemical analysis, X-ray phase analysis, electron microscopy. Using these methods, the physical-mechanical and chemical-mineralogical characteristics of the ceramic aggregate were determined. The study presents solutions to the problem of providing the construction industry of the West Kazakhstan region. It highlighted the key characteristics of the material, its structural features, and its effect on concrete properties. The study presented the errors occurring during the application of granular ceramic aggregate technology and identified the reasons for their occurrence. The functioning of the technology was analysed, which is critical for determining its efficiency, its potential for development, and for identifying possible improvements in the operation of the respective industries. The evaluation of the performance of concrete with granular ceramic aggregate, the rationale for the use of this material, the limitations in use, and the impact of these limitations on the quality of the final product were discussed. The study proposed recommendations aimed at optimising the application process of granular ceramic aggregate, improving the reliability of concrete, and considering a range of factors affecting production and operational aspects
