Clean Rip Rap in Class A1 Size Range

Clean Rip Rap in the Class A1 size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced from high-quality quarried stone, this material is carefully sorted to meet the Class A1 specification, ensuring consistent sizing and performance. The "clean" attribute means the rip rap is free from fines, dirt, and debris, which enhances its effectiveness in drainage and reduces the risk of clogging.

The Class A1 size range provides substantial mass and stability, making it ideal for protecting slopes, riverbanks, culvert outlets, and bridge abutments from water and wind erosion. Its large, angular pieces interlock to form a stable barrier, while the clean nature of the material ensures optimal water flow and minimizes maintenance. This rip rap is also used in commercial landscaping for decorative borders and retaining walls. While its size and weight make it less suitable for compacting or pedestrian areas, Clean Rip Rap in Class A1 size is unmatched for heavy-duty erosion control and long-term durability.
