Rip Rap (8″ To 16″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in 8" to 16" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 8" to 16" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down hard stone, these hefty rocks are designed to withstand harsh weather and water flow, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications.
The substantial 8" to 16" size ensures excellent resistance to displacement, even in high-energy environments such as riverbanks, lake shores, and drainage channels. This size is particularly effective at dissipating water energy, preventing soil loss, and protecting infrastructure from washouts. Rip Rap of this scale is also used in commercial projects for slope stabilization, bridge abutments, and retaining wall backfill. While its large size makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, it excels in providing long-term, low-maintenance protection where durability is critical.
