Rip Rap (Class 2)

Rip Rap in Class 2 Size Range

Rip Rap in a Class 2 size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down hard rock, these stones are typically angular, which helps them interlock and stay in place even under heavy water flow or wind.

The Class 2 size range refers to medium-to-large stones, making this rip rap ideal for protecting slopes, riverbanks, culvert outlets, and bridge abutments from erosion. The substantial size ensures effective energy dissipation, reducing the impact of flowing water and preventing soil loss. While its large, irregular shape makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, it excels in heavy-duty applications where stability and longevity are critical. Both residential and commercial projects benefit from Class 2 rip rap for retaining walls, drainage channels, and shoreline reinforcement.
