Rip Rap in Class 3 (18" to 36") Size Range

Rip Rap in the Class 3 size range (18" to 36") consists of large, durable stones specifically selected for their ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Produced by quarrying and sorting natural stone, this material is known for its substantial size and weight, making it highly effective at resisting displacement from water, wind, or erosion.

The large 18" to 36" size range is critical for heavy-duty applications where maximum stability and protection are required. This makes Class 3 Rip Rap ideal for shoreline stabilization, riverbank reinforcement, bridge abutments, and large-scale erosion control projects. Its size allows for excellent energy dissipation, reducing the impact of flowing water and preventing soil loss. While its bulk makes it less suitable for decorative or small-scale residential uses, it excels in commercial and infrastructure projects where robust, long-lasting protection is essential.
