Rip Rap (4 Lb To 30 Lb)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 4 lb to 30 lb Size Range
Rip Rap in the 4 lb to 30 lb size range is a heavy-duty aggregate composed of large, angular stones. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock, this material is specifically sized to provide substantial mass and stability. The larger stone sizes in this range are ideal for withstanding high water flow and resisting displacement, making them a reliable choice for demanding erosion control applications.
This size range is particularly effective for shoreline protection, stream bank stabilization, and the construction of retaining walls. It is also commonly used around bridge abutments, culverts, and embankments to prevent soil erosion and absorb the energy of flowing water. While its large, irregular shape offers excellent interlocking and stability, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. Rip Rap in this size is valued for its durability, longevity, and ability to protect infrastructure in both residential and commercial projects.
