Rip Rap (6″ To 15″, Trap Rock)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Trap Rock (6" to 15")
Rip Rap in a 6" to 15" size range, made from durable trap rock, is a heavy-duty aggregate designed for robust erosion control and shoreline protection. Trap rock is a dense, hard igneous stone known for its exceptional strength and resistance to weathering, making it ideal for high-impact environments.
The large 6" to 15" size range ensures stability in high-flow water areas, preventing soil loss and protecting embankments, culverts, and bridge abutments. This size is also effective for creating retaining walls, landscaping features, and outfall protection. The angular shape of trap rock interlocks well, reducing movement and providing superior resistance to displacement compared to rounded stones. While its weight and size make it less suitable for decorative or small-scale residential projects, it excels in demanding commercial and municipal applications where long-term durability is essential.
