agree  Lucas Felix dos Santos: Sendo que "brita" é o mais equivalente a gravel, gravelling me parece mais do que adequado dentro do contexto, se não houver algo mais técnico da área.

crushed stone surfacing


Explanation:
The terms gravel and crushed stone aren't always used accurately, but brita/crushed stone is basically man-made, and gravel/gravilha is naturally weathered.

'Embritamento' is a way of laying roads or other surfacing AFAIK

Reference: brita

Reference information:
brita: Cons. Pedra fragmentada, de diversos tamanhos classificados conforme o diâmetro máximo, us. na construção civil e na pavimentação de estradas. - http://www.aulete.com.br/brita

Não encontrei "embritamento" no Aulete. Suponho que seja o processo de dispor britas na via a ser pavimentada.

Penso que "crushed stone surfacing" traduz bem a ideia:
