Rip Rap (>= 12″)

Rip Rap in 12" and Larger Size Range

Rip Rap in a 12-inch and larger size range is a heavy-duty aggregate composed of large, angular stones. Produced by quarrying and breaking down durable rock, these oversized stones are specifically selected for their ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions and resist displacement.

The substantial size of this Rip Rap makes it ideal for high-energy applications where maximum erosion control and structural stability are required. Its large, irregular shape allows for excellent interlocking, which helps prevent soil loss and protects against water or wind erosion. Common uses include shoreline protection, riverbank stabilization, bridge abutments, and large-scale drainage channels. In commercial and municipal projects, it is often used to armor embankments and culverts, while in residential settings, it can be used for retaining walls or decorative landscape features where robust support is needed.

While its size and weight make it difficult to compact and handle, these same attributes ensure long-term durability and minimal maintenance. Rip Rap in this size range is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or walkable surface but excels in providing reliable, heavy-duty protection in demanding environments.
