Rip Rap (2″ To 8″, Unwashed)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap, Unwashed, 2" to 8"
Rip Rap in a 2" to 8" size range, offered in an unwashed form, is a robust aggregate composed of large, irregular stones. This material is typically produced by quarrying and breaking down durable rock, resulting in angular pieces that interlock effectively. The unwashed attribute means the stones retain natural fines and dust, which can help with initial stabilization but may introduce sediment to nearby water sources.
The 2" to 8" size range is ideal for heavy-duty erosion control, shoreline protection, and slope stabilization, as the larger stones resist displacement from water flow and wind. Unwashed Rip Rap is commonly used in commercial and residential projects such as retaining walls, drainage channels, culvert outlets, and embankment reinforcement. While the unwashed nature can make the material less visually clean and potentially messier to handle, it is cost-effective and provides excellent structural stability for demanding applications.
