REVETMENT STONE - Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone

REVETMENT STONE Also called RIPRAP, is larger stone used to stabilize slopes, protect shorelines, and control erosion around bridges and culverts. Because of performance requirements, the best REVETMENT STONE is produced from High Quality Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone. Pattison produces some of the highest grade products with our new, state-of-the-art trommel technology. This system yields a superior, rounded, perfectly sized stone that interlocks for maximum stabilization. 

Revetment Stone

Pattison produces a variety of sizes that meet various local, state and federal project specifications.

Revetment Stone Performance Characteristics

Due to the performance requirements that typical applications demand, quality REVETMENT STONE is certified by the Army Corp of Engineers, state geologists, and Department of Transportation engineers.

How We Produce Revetment Stone

Also known as RipRapErosion Stone, Granular Filter, Gabion Stone, Armor Stone, Quarry Run, Ditch Liner, and Macadam Stone. Pattison produces these products using our state of the art trommel processing plant installed at the Clayton, Iowa facility in the summer of 2018.

With Revetment Stone, Age Matters

When it comes to rocks, age matters. This means that Pattison’s Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone is some of the oldest and hardest material in Iowa. Due to it’s hardness and other ‘Old Stone’ properties, our products out perform material produced from outside of the Ordovician Limestone region which is found only in the northeast corner of Iowa.

More about Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone

When it comes to rock, age really matters.  Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone is some of the highest quality, hardest and most durable anywhere in Iowa. Ordovocian formations are only found in the northeast portion of Iowa. Pattison’s Clayton, IA quarry site is right in the middle of it.
