Rip Rap (Imbricated)
Applications & Uses
Imbricated Rip Rap
Imbricated Rip Rap is a heavy-duty erosion control material composed of large, angular stones that are carefully placed in an overlapping, interlocking pattern. The imbricated attribute refers to the strategic arrangement of the stones, which enhances stability and resistance to shifting, especially in high-flow water environments.
This material is ideal for shoreline protection, streambank stabilization, bridge abutments, and large drainage channels. The imbricated installation method creates a tightly locked structure, reducing the risk of washout and providing superior long-term performance compared to loosely placed rip rap. While installation requires skilled placement and may be more labor-intensive, the result is a highly durable barrier that withstands strong currents and wave action, making it a preferred choice for both commercial and municipal projects where maximum erosion control is essential.
