Rip Rap (Class 1 (6″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class 1 (6" Minus) Size Range
Rip Rap in a Class 1 (6" minus) size range is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of large, angular stones. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock, this material is specifically sized so that no individual piece exceeds 6 inches in diameter. The substantial size and weight of Class 1 Rip Rap make it highly effective for erosion control and stabilization projects.
The 6" minus specification ensures the stones are large enough to resist displacement by water or wind, yet small enough for easier handling and installation compared to larger classes. This makes it ideal for lining drainage channels, protecting shorelines, reinforcing culvert inlets and outlets, and stabilizing slopes or embankments. While its size offers excellent resistance to washout and undercutting, it is less suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. Overall, Class 1 Rip Rap is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial applications where robust erosion protection is needed.
