Rip Rap (24″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 24" Minus Size Range
Rip Rap in a 24" minus size range is a large, durable aggregate composed of natural stone pieces, each measuring up to 24 inches in diameter. This material is typically produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks into irregular, angular fragments. The "minus" designation means the mix includes stones of various sizes up to the maximum, which helps with interlocking and stability.
The substantial size of 24" minus Rip Rap makes it ideal for heavy-duty erosion control, shoreline protection, and slope stabilization. Its mass and angularity allow it to resist displacement from water flow or weather, making it a preferred choice for protecting riverbanks, bridge abutments, and culvert outlets. In commercial and municipal projects, it is often used to armor embankments and prevent soil loss. While its large size offers excellent durability and resistance to movement, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface, and installation typically requires heavy equipment.
