How Much Does A Revetment Cost?
Revetment costs are dependent on several factors. The amount of material needed, the cost of material, the cost of trucking to site, the cost of the proper heavy equipment needed to excavate site and place material, filter cloth and general labor. The easiest way to calculate cost is to determine how many tons of material will be needed. In most cases it will be very close to 3 tons per lineal ft. This is the amount of material it “typically” takes to build a revetment using a proper slope and built to proper design height. Higher lake level regulation could mean that higher design heights will need to be factored into the design and increase the amount of material needed. The typical size of the revetment is a right angle triangle that is 7 ft high at back, 21ft long with a 1:3 slope. In “general” you should be able to build a quality structure for between $50 and $75 per ton. If you want to know how much it would be per foot, just multiply the number of feet by the number of tons and
