Rip Rap (400 Lb)
Applications & Uses
400 Lb Rip Rap
400 lb rip rap is a large, heavy-duty aggregate consisting of angular or roughly shaped stones, each weighing approximately 400 pounds. This material is typically produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock formations, resulting in robust, irregular pieces designed for maximum stability and durability.
The substantial size of 400 lb rip rap makes it ideal for high-energy environments where significant erosion control is required. Its mass and angularity allow it to interlock effectively, resisting displacement from strong water currents or wave action. Common applications include shoreline protection, riverbank stabilization, bridge abutments, and large-scale slope reinforcement. While its size provides excellent protection against erosion and washouts, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. Installation often requires heavy equipment due to the weight of each piece.
