3 Rock Gravel Material
A family tradition spanning over 60 years. Serving Cobb, Bartow, Cherokee, Floyd, Polk, Gordon and surrounding counties.
When a project demands superior ground stabilization and powerful drainage capabilities, you need an aggregate that is built to handle the heaviest loads and the harshest conditions. 3 Rock Gravel Material, a coarse, large-sized aggregate (typically measuring 2 to 4 inches), is the material of choice for heavy construction and severe erosion control across North Georgia and Metro Atlanta. At Kevin Westmoreland Trucking, we specialize in the high-capacity, reliable transport of this essential stone, ensuring your heavy-duty projects start on a solid, unwavering foundation.
The Power of Coarse Aggregate
3 Rock is distinguished by its size and angularity. Unlike finer aggregates that compact tightly, 3 Rock creates a high void ratio. This property is crucial for its two main functions:
- Exceptional Drainage: The large gaps between the stones allow massive volumes of water to pass through quickly and freely, making it indispensable for major drainage channels, utility beds, and managing stormwater runoff in high-volume areas.
- Immediate Stabilization: The large, angular pieces lock together immediately upon placement. This interlocking action prevents lateral movement and sinking, making 3 Rock ideal for stabilizing muddy or extremely soft subgrade areas that would swallow smaller stones.
Essential Applications for 3 Rock Gravel Material
Our MACK truck fleet, known for its rugged dependability, frequently delivers 3 Rock to sites requiring absolute structural integrity:
Construction Access Roads and Entrances
One of the most common and vital uses for 3 Rock is creating temporary construction entrances and haul roads. These surfaces must withstand repeated trips from fully loaded concrete trucks, excavators, and heavy construction equipment, often over unstable ground. A thick layer of 3 Rock prevents vehicle tires from tracking mud onto public roads, a key compliance requirement, while providing a stable, all-weather surface for heavy machinery.
Severe Erosion Control and Ditches
In areas prone to steep water runoff or high-velocity ditch flow, smaller stones will wash away. 3 Rock serves as a foundational component for riprap layers and large drainage systems. Its weight and size provide robust protection against water scouring, making it critical for stabilizing ditch banks and preventing severe erosion around culverts and spillways.
Ground Preparation and Utility Protection
When developing sites with challenging subsurface conditions, 3 Rock can be used as a structural lift over soft, muddy terrain. This creates a solid working platform, allowing smaller base materials to be laid on top without mixing into the unstable soil. It is also used in deep utility trenches to provide a protective, permeable base for larger pipes.
