Applications & Uses
Rip Rap
Rip Rap is a large, coarse aggregate composed of durable stones or crushed rock, typically sourced from quarries. The material is characterized by its substantial size and irregular shape, making it highly effective for erosion control and stabilization projects. Unlike smaller aggregates, Rip Rap is specifically designed to withstand the force of flowing water and prevent soil displacement.
This material is commonly used in both residential and commercial settings for shoreline protection, riverbank stabilization, culvert outlets, and retaining wall bases. Its large size allows for excellent resistance to movement, making it ideal for high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would wash away. While Rip Rap is not suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative landscaping, its primary advantage lies in its durability and ability to protect against erosion and water damage.
