Rip Rap (4″ To 16″, Light)
Applications & Uses
Light Rip Rap in a 4" to 16" Size Range
Light rip rap in a 4" to 16" size range is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of large, angular stones. Produced by quarrying and breaking down natural rock, this material is specifically selected for its lighter weight, making it easier to handle and install compared to heavier rip rap varieties.
The 4" to 16" size range provides effective erosion control while allowing for flexibility in placement, making it ideal for stabilizing shorelines, stream banks, culvert outlets, and slopes. The lighter attribute means it can be used in areas where heavy equipment access is limited or where weight restrictions apply. This size is also suitable for residential landscaping projects, such as creating decorative borders or protecting garden beds from washout.
Pros of light rip rap include easier installation and reduced transportation costs. However, its lighter weight may make it less suitable for high-energy water flow areas compared to heavier rip rap. Overall, this material offers a practical solution for both commercial and residential erosion control and landscaping needs.
