Rip Rap (4″ To 7″, Gabion)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Gabion, 4" to 7"
Rip Rap in a 4" to 7" 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 mechanically breaking down larger rocks, resulting in angular pieces that interlock well within wire mesh structures.
The 4" to 7" size range is ideal for gabion applications because it provides excellent stability and minimizes voids, ensuring the stones stay securely in place under pressure. The angular shape further enhances interlocking, making it highly effective for erosion control, retaining walls, and slope stabilization. Common uses include shoreline protection, bridge abutments, culvert outfalls, and decorative landscape features. The main advantage of this size and attribute is its superior resistance to movement and washout, though it may be less suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface.
