Rip Rap (Class A)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class A Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class A size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, Rip Rap is known for its angular shape and substantial weight, which help it stay in place even under heavy water flow or wind.
The Class A size range refers to stones typically measuring between 6 and 12 inches in diameter, making them ideal for projects that require significant resistance to movement and displacement. This size is particularly effective for protecting riverbanks, culvert inlets and outlets, bridge abutments, and slopes from erosion. In residential and commercial settings, Class A Rip Rap is also used for decorative retaining walls, landscape features, and as a base for heavy-duty driveways. While its large size offers excellent stability and drainage, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface.
