Riprap and Bulk Aggregates for Odd, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Odd, WV, and the first question on most steep ground here is how deep the base has to be. Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields the hillsides are stony, acid residuum over sandstone and shale, with colluvium sitting deep in the hollows.

Crusher run is the material that answer usually starts with. It is the everyday base and drive stone in this part of West Virginia, and it locks up tight because the fines stay in the mix.

Materials for Odd Projects

This page leads with coarse stone, because slope, swale and bank protection is what the ground around Odd asks for. Riprap is the bank and slope armour, sold by stone size and by weight class, and it goes on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

Above that size in the open-graded family sits #4 Crushed Stone, a coarse 1-1/2 inch clean stone. It works as a construction entrance, a trench bottom and the first lift over very soft ground.

Below it, #57 Limestone is the washed 1 inch clean stone West Virginia quarries list by that number. It drains, beds pipe and suits French drains and construction entrances.

#67 Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed stone, for drainage beds and concrete aggregate and bedding where #57 runs a shade big. #8 Limestone drops to a small chip for paver joints and pipe bedding.

Then come the base materials, where the local class numbers matter. Class 1 Base is the heavier base course under drives, parking pads and slabs, and the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Crusher Run covers the rest of the local vocabulary. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class and makes a tighter surface, and it also works as a top course over a Class 1 base.

Ground and Conditions in Odd

Work here runs most of the year, and what holds it up is a long wet spell rather than cold. Saturated hillside fill will not compact, so it should not be built on until it drains.

Water is the other half of the picture. Narrow hollows funnel rain off long, steep slopes into one creek and one road, so a drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill.

Culverts and ditches decide how that ends. Old mine workings add their own discharges, and acid mine drainage from abandoned mines has left hundreds of miles of stream in this part of the state running acid, which is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.

Erosion follows from the same ground. The Allegheny Plateau coalfields carry the most slide-prone ground in West Virginia, mostly on steep slopes, with mine regolith the most slide-prone material and shale and siltstone units the most susceptible rock.

Unreclaimed workings, timber cutting, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers, and creek banks scour hard in a flash rise. That is why the coarse end of the range earns its place on bank and swale work here.
