Riprap and Bulk Aggregates for Omar, WV

West Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Omar, WV, from a single load of crusher run to a full order of bank stone.

This is steep, stony ground. On the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, flat ground is scarce and much of what is flat is fill, so base depth and drainage matter more than surface looks.

Materials for Omar Projects

Slope, swale and bank work starts with coarse, angular stone. On ground this steep, water arrives fast and carries whatever is loose with it.

Riprap is the armour for that job. It goes on creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.

#4 Crushed Stone is the 1-1/2 inch clean stone for trench bottoms, heavy drainage and the first lift over very soft ground.

Where you want a drainage bed a shade smaller, #57 Limestone is the washed 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and construction entrances.

For the drive itself, Crusher Run is the everyday West Virginia base and drive material. The fines stay in, so it locks up tight and holds a grade on a hillside drive.

When the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads and slabs. Class 2 base is the finer crusher run class, used as a top course over Class 1 or where a pad wants a tighter surface.

• Coarsest for banks and channels: riprap, then #4 crushed stone.
• For drainage beds and pipe work: #57 limestone, #67 stone, drain rock.
• For base under drives and pads: Class 1 base, then crusher run.
• For tight joints and bedding: stone screenings, mason sand.

Ground and Conditions in Omar

Work here runs most of the year. Long wet spells hold it up more than cold does.

Saturated hillside fill will not compact and should not be built on until it drains. That is the main reason a base course gets pushed back a week or two.

Across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields, this is the most landslide-prone ground in the state. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material, and shale and siltstone are the most susceptible rock.

Narrow hollows funnel rain off long slopes into one creek and one road. A drive takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so culverts and ditches decide everything.

Old mine workings add their own discharges as well. Acid mine drainage has left hundreds of miles of stream here running acid, which is hard on metal pipe and on anything set in the water.

Frost depth is set by the local building official, so confirm that figure before you pour or set footings.

Questions About Stone in Omar

What stone should I use for drainage in Omar?

Use clean, washed stone, because fines block water. #57 limestone is the 1 inch clean stone for French drains, pipe bedding and downspout runs.

#67 stone works where that is a shade too big, and #4 crushed stone handles trench bottoms and the first lift over soft ground. Riprap goes on banks and culvert outlets where the water is moving fast.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear, firm enough for a loaded truck, and reachable from the road. The driver tips the load in one pile and does not place or spread it, so pick a spot you can work from.

Clear overhead lines and check that gates and driveways take the truck's width.
