Rip Rap (4″ To 6″, Gabion)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Gabion, 4" to 6"
Rip Rap in a 4" to 6" size range with a gabion attribute is a durable, angular stone specifically selected for use in gabion baskets and similar containment systems. This material is typically produced by quarrying and crushing larger rocks to achieve the desired size and shape, ensuring each piece interlocks well within wire mesh structures.
The 4" to 6" size is ideal for gabion applications, as it provides excellent stability and minimizes voids, allowing for strong, long-lasting retaining walls, erosion control barriers, and slope stabilization projects. The angular nature of the stone enhances interlocking, reducing movement and increasing structural integrity. Common uses include shoreline protection, bridge abutments, culvert outfalls, and landscaping features. While this size offers superior drainage and resistance to washout, it is not suitable for areas requiring a compacted surface. Its robust performance and versatility make it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects where erosion control and structural support are critical.
