Rip Rap (4″ To 12″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 4" to 12" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 4" to 12" size range is a large, durable aggregate composed of natural stone or crushed rock. These substantial stones are specifically selected or processed to meet strict size requirements, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments. The larger size range provides excellent resistance to displacement and erosion, making it ideal for high-impact applications.
This size of Rip Rap is commonly used for shoreline protection, slope stabilization, and erosion control along riverbanks, lakes, and drainage channels. It is also frequently employed in commercial and residential projects to reinforce culverts, bridge abutments, and stormwater outfalls. The substantial weight and interlocking nature of these stones help them stay in place even under heavy water flow or severe weather conditions. While the large size makes compaction difficult, it offers superior drainage and long-term stability, making it a reliable choice for both functional and protective applications.
