Rip Rap (201 Lb)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 201 Lb Size Range
Rip Rap in a 201 lb size range is a large, heavy-duty aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced from durable, natural stone, each piece typically weighs around 201 pounds, making it ideal for high-energy environments where significant protection is required.
The substantial size of this Rip Rap ensures excellent resistance to displacement by water, wind, or ice, making it a preferred choice for protecting riverbanks, bridge abutments, culverts, and coastal areas. Its mass and irregular shape help interlock the stones, providing stability and reducing the risk of washout. While its large size makes it less suitable for decorative or small-scale landscaping, it excels in heavy civil and commercial applications where robust, long-lasting erosion control is essential.
