Rip Rap (=<18", Trap Rock)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Trap Rock in <=18" Size Range
Rip Rap made from trap rock in a <=18" size range is a highly durable, large-sized aggregate designed for demanding erosion control and stabilization projects. Trap rock, a dense and hard igneous stone, is prized for its exceptional strength and resistance to weathering, making it ideal for long-term structural applications. The <=18" size range ensures substantial mass and stability, allowing the material to withstand strong water currents and heavy impact.
This combination is commonly used in both residential and commercial settings for shoreline protection, slope stabilization, bridge abutments, and large drainage channels. Its angular shape helps the stones interlock, reducing movement and providing superior resistance to washout. While its large size and weight make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, Rip Rap trap rock excels in heavy-duty applications where durability and erosion control are critical.
