Rip Rap (6″ To 12″, Graded)
Applications & Uses
Graded Rip Rap in 6" to 12" Size Range
Graded rip rap in a 6" to 12" size range is a heavy-duty aggregate composed of large, angular stones that have been carefully sorted to ensure consistent sizing. This material is typically produced by quarrying and mechanically breaking down larger rock, then screening it to meet strict size specifications. The "graded" attribute means the stones are uniform within the specified range, which enhances stability and performance in demanding applications.
The substantial size and angular shape of this rip rap make it ideal for erosion control, shoreline protection, and stabilizing slopes or embankments. Its weight and interlocking nature help resist displacement from water flow or weather, making it a preferred choice for lining channels, culverts, and retaining walls in both residential and commercial projects. While its large size offers excellent durability and drainage, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth surface. Overall, graded 6" to 12" rip rap provides reliable, long-lasting protection in high-impact environments.
