Rip Rap (9″ To 18″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 9" to 18" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 9" to 18" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced from natural stone, this material is typically sourced from quarries and broken into angular pieces to ensure stability when placed. The substantial size of these stones makes them highly effective at dissipating the energy of flowing water, preventing soil loss and structural damage in high-impact environments.
This specific size range is ideal for heavy-duty applications where maximum protection is required, such as along riverbanks, lake shores, bridge abutments, and culvert outlets. The large stones interlock to form a stable barrier, making them less likely to be displaced by strong currents or wave action. While the bulkiness of 9" to 18" rip rap can make installation more labor-intensive, its superior performance in controlling erosion and providing long-term durability outweighs this consideration for most commercial and municipal projects.
