Gravelling
The County owns and operates multiple resource pits, utilizing a fleet of six (6) heavy trucks to transport aggregates to stockpiles and directly apply them to gravel roads.
Each year, the County distributes 41,000 cubic meters of aggregate across 300 kilometers of arterial roads, 275 kilometers of collector roads, and 875 kilometers of local gravel roads. Aggregate crushing is outsourced to a contracted service provider. This approach allows the County to resurface one-quarter of its 1,450 kilometers of gravel roads annually, ensuring the program remains manageable within available resources, equipment, and labour.
Aggregate use is planned for and budgeted annually, focusing only on roads that require resurfacing. This strategy prioritizes road maintenance based on classification, necessity, and long-term resource conservation.
