Rip Rap (Class3)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class 3 Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class 3 size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced from natural stone, this material is typically sourced from quarries and broken into angular pieces to ensure interlocking stability when placed.
The Class 3 size range refers to medium-to-large stones, making this rip rap ideal for protecting slopes, riverbanks, culvert inlets, and retaining walls from water or wind erosion. Its substantial size allows for excellent energy dissipation, reducing the impact of flowing water and preventing soil loss. While its bulk makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, Class 3 rip rap excels in heavy-duty applications where strength and longevity are critical.
