Rip Rap (6″ To 12″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 6" to 12" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 6" to 12" size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, these stones are selected for their angular shape and substantial weight, which help them stay in place even under heavy water flow or wind.
The 6" to 12" size range is ideal for high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would be displaced. This makes it particularly effective for protecting riverbanks, culvert outlets, bridge abutments, and coastal areas from erosion. In residential and commercial projects, Rip Rap is also used for retaining walls, landscaping features, and as a base for heavy-duty drainage channels. While its large size provides excellent stability and drainage, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth surface. Its robust nature ensures long-term performance in demanding conditions.
