CRUSHED STONE RIP RAP
Reference onlyRip Rap (2.5″ Minus, Ballast)
Rip Rap ballast in a 2.5" minus size range is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of crushed stone or rock. The "ballast" attribute indicates that this material is specifically selected for its stability and weight, making it ideal for applications where erosion control and foundational support are critical. The 2.5" minus sizing means that the largest pieces are approximately 2.5 inches in diameter, with smaller fragments and fines included, which helps the material interlock and compact more effectively.
