Rip Rap (Type 1)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Type 1 Size Range
Rip Rap in a Type 1 size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, Rip Rap consists of angular stones that interlock to form a stable barrier against water and wind forces.
The Type 1 size range refers to smaller Rip Rap stones, making them ideal for projects where a more compact yet effective layer of protection is needed. This size is particularly effective for lining drainage ditches, protecting culvert inlets and outlets, and reinforcing small slopes or embankments. Its angular shape ensures excellent interlocking, reducing movement and providing reliable resistance to erosion. While not as decorative as smaller aggregates, Type 1 Rip Rap excels in functionality, offering long-lasting performance in both residential and commercial applications.
