Rip Rap (Class 55 (1.5″ To 3″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class 55 (1.5" to 3") Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class 55 size range (1.5" to 3") is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of large, angular stones. Produced by quarrying and crushing natural rock, this material is specifically sized to provide effective erosion control and stabilization in a variety of settings.
The 1.5" to 3" size range offers an ideal balance between weight and coverage, making it effective for protecting shorelines, stream banks, culvert inlets, and slopes from water or wind erosion. Its substantial size allows for excellent interlocking, which helps resist displacement even in high-flow conditions. While not suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative landscaping, Class 55 Rip Rap excels in heavy-duty applications where stability and longevity are critical. Common uses include residential drainage swales, commercial retention ponds, and infrastructure projects requiring robust erosion protection.
