Rip Rap (8″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in an 8" Size Range
Rip Rap in an 8" size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, these stones are selected for their substantial size and weight, which help them resist displacement by water or wind.
The 8" size is particularly effective for heavy-duty applications where maximum stability is required, such as protecting riverbanks, bridge abutments, culvert outlets, and steep slopes from erosion. Its large profile allows water to flow through while holding soil in place, making it ideal for both residential and commercial projects needing robust protection. While its size makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, it excels in high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would wash away.
