Rip Rap (18″ To 30″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in 18" to 30" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 18" to 30" size range is a large, durable aggregate composed of natural stone or crushed rock. These substantial stones are specifically selected for their size and strength, making them ideal for heavy-duty erosion control and shoreline stabilization projects. The production process involves quarrying and sorting stones to ensure consistent sizing within the specified range.
The large 18" to 30" size is crucial for withstanding high-energy water flows and preventing soil displacement in areas prone to severe erosion. This makes it a preferred choice for protecting riverbanks, bridge abutments, culverts, and coastal shorelines. In commercial and residential settings, this size of rip rap is also used for creating retaining walls, outfall protection, and heavy-duty landscaping features. While its substantial size offers excellent stability and resistance to movement, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish. Instead, it excels in applications where maximum durability and erosion resistance are required.
