Rip Rap (6″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 6" Size Range
Rip Rap in a 6" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down hard stone, these angular rocks are specifically sized to provide maximum resistance against water and wind forces.
The 6" size is ideal for heavy-duty applications where significant protection is needed, such as lining riverbanks, protecting bridge abutments, or reinforcing slopes and embankments. Its substantial mass and interlocking shape help prevent displacement, making it highly effective for both residential and commercial projects requiring long-term stability. While its large size offers excellent erosion control and drainage, it is not suitable for areas needing a smooth or compacted surface.
