Rip Rap (< 12")
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in < 12" Size Range
Rip Rap in a size range of less than 12 inches is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger stones, this material features irregular, angular shapes that interlock effectively when placed, creating a stable barrier against water and wind forces.
The sub-12-inch sizing makes this Rip Rap versatile for a variety of applications, including protecting riverbanks, culvert inlets and outlets, bridge abutments, and slopes from erosion. Its substantial size allows for excellent resistance to displacement, while still being manageable for installation in both residential and commercial projects. This material is valued for its durability and effectiveness in high-flow or high-impact environments, though its large size means it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface.
