Rip Rap (18″ To 36″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in 18" to 36" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 18" to 36" size range is a large, durable aggregate composed of natural stone or crushed rock. These massive stones are produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock formations, resulting in irregular, angular pieces that are highly resistant to erosion and displacement.
The substantial size of this Rip Rap makes it ideal for heavy-duty erosion control and shoreline stabilization projects. Its weight and angularity help it stay in place even under intense water flow or wave action, making it a preferred choice for protecting riverbanks, bridge abutments, culverts, and coastal areas. In commercial and municipal applications, it is commonly used for slope protection, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale drainage channels. While its size offers superior stability and longevity, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth surface, and installation typically requires heavy equipment.
