Rip Rap (8″ To 24″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in 8" to 24" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 8" to 24" size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down massive rocks, these stones are left unwashed and irregular in shape, providing maximum interlocking strength when placed together.
The substantial size of this Rip Rap makes it ideal for high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would be displaced by water or wind. Its weight and angularity help anchor it in place, making it a preferred choice for protecting riverbanks, bridge abutments, culvert outlets, and coastal areas from erosion. In commercial and residential projects, it is also used for creating retaining walls, landscaping features, and heavy-duty drainage channels.
While its large size offers excellent stability and resistance to movement, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. Installation typically requires heavy equipment due to the weight and bulk of the stones. Overall, 8" to 24" Rip Rap is valued for its effectiveness in demanding erosion control applications and its long-lasting durability.
