Rip Rap (300 Lb)
Applications & Uses
300 Lb Rip Rap
300 Lb Rip Rap is a large, heavy-duty aggregate composed of durable stone pieces, each weighing approximately 300 pounds. This material is produced by quarrying and breaking down massive rocks into angular, interlocking chunks, ensuring stability and resistance to displacement.
The substantial size of 300 Lb Rip Rap makes it ideal for high-energy environments where erosion control and slope stabilization are critical. Its weight and angularity allow it to withstand strong water currents and wave action, making it a preferred choice for shoreline protection, riverbanks, bridge abutments, and large drainage channels. In commercial and infrastructure projects, it is commonly used to armor embankments and prevent soil loss. While its size offers superior protection and longevity, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. Installation typically requires heavy equipment due to the weight of each piece.
