Rip Rap in a 6” to 18” Size Range
Rip Rap in a 6" to 18" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced from natural stone, this material is typically sourced from quarries and broken into angular pieces to ensure stability when placed. The substantial size of these stones makes them highly effective at dissipating the energy of flowing water, preventing soil loss and protecting structures from water damage.
The 6" to 18" size range is ideal for heavy-duty applications where smaller aggregates would be displaced by strong currents or wave action. This makes Rip Rap a preferred choice for lining riverbanks, lake shores, bridge abutments, culvert outlets, and retaining walls. In residential settings, it can also be used for decorative features or to reinforce steep slopes. While its large size offers excellent protection and longevity, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. Overall, Rip Rap in this size range provides robust, low-maintenance erosion control for both commercial and residential projects.Applications & Uses
