Rip Rap Limestone Heavy, 16" to 32"

Rip Rap in a 16" to 32" size range, made from heavy limestone, is a robust construction aggregate designed for demanding erosion control and stabilization projects. Produced by quarrying and breaking down large limestone boulders, this material is characterized by its substantial weight and durability, making it ideal for withstanding harsh environmental conditions.

The large 16" to 32" size ensures excellent resistance to displacement by water or wind, while the heavy limestone composition provides long-lasting structural integrity. This combination is especially effective for shoreline protection, riverbank stabilization, bridge abutments, and large-scale drainage channels. In residential and commercial settings, it is commonly used for retaining walls, slope protection, and outfall areas. While its size and weight make it difficult to compact or move by hand, these same attributes deliver superior performance in high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would fail.
