Rip Rap (Class 3 (3″ To 18″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class 3 (3" to 18") Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class 3 size range (3" to 18") is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, this material is selected for its substantial size and weight, which help it resist displacement by water, wind, or heavy runoff.
The broad size range of Class 3 Rip Rap makes it especially effective for protecting slopes, riverbanks, culvert outlets, and bridge abutments from erosion. Its irregular, angular shapes interlock to form a stable barrier, allowing water to flow through while minimizing soil loss. While not suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative landscaping, Class 3 Rip Rap excels in heavy-duty applications where strength and longevity are critical. It is a preferred choice for both commercial infrastructure projects and residential properties needing robust erosion protection.
