Rip Rap (3″ To 12″, Revetment)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Revetment, 3" to 12"
Rip Rap in a 3" to 12" size range, specifically designated for revetment, is a robust and durable aggregate composed of large, angular stones. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock, this material is engineered to withstand significant hydraulic forces and prevent soil erosion.
The broad size range of 3" to 12" ensures excellent interlocking and stability, making it ideal for revetment applications along shorelines, riverbanks, culverts, and embankments. The large, angular stones resist displacement from water flow and wave action, providing long-lasting protection against erosion. This material is commonly used in both residential and commercial projects for shoreline stabilization, bridge abutments, and stormwater management. While its size and weight make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, Rip Rap revetment excels in heavy-duty erosion control and structural reinforcement.
