Rip Rap (R-6, Gray, White)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in R-6 Size Range - Gray, White
Rip Rap in the R-6 size range is a large, durable aggregate typically composed of gray and white stones. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, this material is known for its angular shape and substantial weight, making it highly effective for erosion control and stabilization projects.
The R-6 size range refers to stones that are generally 12 to 18 inches in diameter, providing excellent resistance to displacement by water or wind. This makes R-6 Rip Rap ideal for protecting shorelines, stream banks, bridge abutments, and culvert inlets from erosion. Its substantial size also allows for effective energy dissipation in high-flow areas, while the natural gray and white coloration offers a clean, professional appearance for both commercial and residential applications. While its large size makes it less suitable for compacting or decorative uses, R-6 Rip Rap excels in heavy-duty protection and long-term durability.
