Rip Rap (4″, Gabion)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Gabion in a 4" Size Range
Rip Rap in a 4" size range with a gabion attribute is a durable, angular stone specifically selected for use in gabion baskets and similar erosion control systems. Produced by quarrying and crushing larger rocks, this material is screened to ensure consistent sizing, making it ideal for structural and protective applications.
The 4" size is optimal for filling gabion baskets, providing excellent interlocking stability while allowing water to flow through, which helps prevent soil erosion without causing water buildup. The angular shape of the stones ensures they lock together securely, enhancing the structural integrity of retaining walls, riverbanks, and slope stabilization projects. This material is commonly used in both residential and commercial settings for shoreline protection, bridge abutments, culvert outfalls, and landscaping features.
Pros of this gabion rip rap include superior erosion control, long-lasting durability, and low maintenance. However, due to its size and weight, it can be more challenging to handle and install compared to smaller aggregates. Overall, 4" gabion rip rap is a reliable choice for heavy-duty stabilization and protection projects.
