Rip Rap in 100 Lb Size Range

Rip Rap in a 100 lb size range is a large, heavy-duty aggregate composed of durable stones or rock fragments. These stones are typically quarried and then sorted by weight, ensuring each piece is substantial enough to withstand significant environmental forces. The 100 lb size category means each individual stone weighs approximately 100 pounds, making this material especially effective for high-impact applications.

The substantial size and weight of 100 lb Rip Rap provide superior erosion control and slope stabilization, making it ideal for protecting shorelines, riverbanks, bridge abutments, and culvert outlets from water and wind erosion. Its mass and irregular shape help dissipate energy from flowing water, reducing the risk of washouts and structural damage. While its large size makes it less suitable for decorative or small-scale residential projects, it excels in heavy-duty commercial and civil engineering applications where maximum stability and durability are required.
