Rip Rap (8″ To 16″, Odot)
Applications & Uses
Odot Rip Rap in 8" to 16" Size Range
Odot Rip Rap in the 8" to 16" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and heavy-duty stabilization projects. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this material meets Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) specifications, ensuring consistent quality and performance for demanding applications.
The substantial 8" to 16" size makes this rip rap ideal for protecting shorelines, riverbanks, culvert inlets, and bridge abutments from water erosion. Its large, irregular pieces interlock to form a stable barrier, effectively dissipating energy from flowing water and preventing soil loss. The ODOT attribute guarantees that the material meets strict standards for hardness, durability, and gradation, making it a reliable choice for both public infrastructure and private projects.
While its size and weight make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, Odot Rip Rap excels in high-impact environments where long-term stability and minimal maintenance are priorities. It is commonly used in commercial, municipal, and residential settings for slope protection, drainage channels, and retaining wall backfill.
