Rip Rap (R-7)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in R-7 Size Range
Rip Rap in the R-7 size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, R-7 Rip Rap typically consists of angular stones that interlock well, providing excellent resistance to water flow and soil displacement.
The R-7 size range refers to particularly large stones, making this material ideal for high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would be washed away or displaced. Its substantial size and weight ensure stability on slopes, embankments, and around bridge abutments. R-7 Rip Rap is frequently used in both residential and commercial projects for protecting riverbanks, constructing retaining walls, and reinforcing culverts. While its size makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, it excels in heavy-duty applications where maximum erosion control is required.
