Rip Rap (18″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in an 18" Size Range
Rip Rap in an 18" size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for heavy-duty erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock formations, these stones are selected for their substantial size and weight, which help them resist displacement by water or weather.
The 18" size is particularly effective for high-energy environments, such as riverbanks, seawalls, bridge abutments, and large drainage channels, where smaller aggregates would be washed away. This size provides excellent protection against soil erosion and helps dissipate the force of flowing water. While its large size makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, it excels in structural and protective applications. Both commercial and municipal projects rely on 18" Rip Rap for long-lasting, low-maintenance solutions to erosion and slope stability challenges.
